Abstract
PURPOSE In patients with right-sided breast cancer (BC) the liver might be partially irradiated during adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Thus, we performed a prospective observational study to evaluate the dose delivered to the liver, and its potential biological impact. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 34 patients with right-sided BC treated with adjuvant RT. The RT schedules were either the Canadian (42.5Gy in 16 fx) or standard fractionated (50Gy in 25 fx) regimen respectively with 9 (26.5%) and 25 (73.5%) patients each, ± a boost of 10-16Gy. Each patient had a complete blood count and liver enzymes analysis, before starting and during the last week of treatment. RESULTS A significant decrease in white blood cells and thrombocytes counts was observed during RT. We observed a significant correlation between certain hepatic parameters and the volume of the irradiated liver and/or the mean liver dose. A significant correlation between the volume of the right lung and the liver mean dose was found (P=0.008). In the bivariate analysis, a significant correlation between fatigue and the white blood cell count's evolution was observed (P<0.025). CONCLUSION With the standard RT technique, incidental irradiation of the liver was documented in a large number of patients, and some significant hepatic parameters alterations were observed, without an apparent clinical impact, but this study cannot exclude them. The liver mean dose was correlated with the right lung volume suggesting that deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) techniques may represent a way to decrease the liver dose. These findings need to be evaluated in further larger studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of liposome-paclitaxel and carboplatin combination chemoradiotherapy for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-nine consecutive patients treated with liposome-paclitaxel based concurrent chemoradiotherapy between January 2015 and December 2019 at Cancer hospital of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Zhejiang cancer hospital) were enrolled in this study. The overall response, toxicities, progression-free survival and overall survival were analyzed with SPSS software. RESULTS A total of 302 cycles of weekly chemotherapy were delivered, with a median 4 courses. After concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), the efficacy was classified as CR in 4 cases (5.1%), PR in 22 cases (28.2%) and SD in 51 cases (65.4%). The median PFS and OS time were 18.2 months and 23.4 months. The 3-year PFS and OS rates were 45.1% and 43.6%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Liposome-paclitaxel and carboplatin concurrent with radiotherapy is a safe and effective modality for locally advanced ESCC. Further clinical investigation are warranted to evaluate the efficacy of this regimen.

Abstract
PURPOSE The tolerance of the concurrent use of radiotherapy, pertuzumab and trastuzumab is unknown. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the toxicity of this association in patients treated for HER2 positive metastatic and/or locally recurrent unrespectable breast cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed in our institution for all consecutive patients treated with concurrent irradiation, pertuzumab and trastuzumab. The radiotherapy was performed while pertuzumab and trastuzumab were administrated as a maintenance treatment at the dose of 420mg (total dose) and 6mg/kg respectively every 3 weeks without chemotherapy. Toxicity was assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured at baseline and then every 3-4 months. RESULTS We studied 77 patients. treated in between 2013 and 2019 with median follow-up of 38 months (range 0-264 months). Median age was 53 years (33-86). There were 50 patients (64.9%) with metastatic and 27 patients (35.1%) with recurrent disease. All patients received docetaxel followed by P-T as first line treatment and they received 34 cycles (10-85) of pertuzumab and trastuzumab. All patients experienced partial or complete response according to RECIST criteria. Irradiation volumes were whole breast (41 patients, 53.2%) and chest wall (29 patients, 37.7%) at a dose of 50Gy with a median duration of 39 days. Radiotherapy of lymph nodes was performed in 53 patients (68.8%) as following: supraclavicular-infraclavicular and axillary lymph nodes in 52 patients (67.5%), and internal mammary nodes in 31 patients (40.3%). For 20 patients. (26.0%) radiotherapy was palliative: bone irradiation (12 patients, 15.6%), whole-brain radiotherapy (2 patients, 2.6%), cerebral metastasis irradiation (6 patients). As early toxicity we observed: radio dermatitis as following: 36 patients (46.8%) presented grade I, 17 patients (22.1%) presented grade II, and 3 patients (3.9%) presented grade III. One patient (1.3%) presented grade II esophagitis. One patient (1.3%) presented asymptomatic decrease of LVEF during treatment and 6 patients (7.7%) presented a decrease of LVEF. There was no radiation-induced pneumonitis. As late toxicity, we observed 1 (1.3%) case of grade I and 1 (1.3%) with grade II telangiectasia. There was 1 case (1.3%) of grade III cardiac toxicity, 8 months after the concurrent treatment. CONCLUSION The concurrent use of radiotherapy, pertuzumab and trastuzumab is feasible with good tolerance. Larger prospective data with longer follow-up is needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of stereotactic radiation therapy for primary and secondary liver tumours in Jean-Perrin cancer centre (Clermont-Ferrand, France) in terms of efficacy and safety. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between December 2013 and June 2016, 25 patients were included. Treatment was performed on a linear accelerator Novalis TX®. The prescription dose was 42 to 60Gy in three to five fractions. Local control at 1 year was evaluated with modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (mRECIST) and RECIST criteria. Acute and late toxicity were evaluated with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0 criteria. RESULTS Median follow-up was 10.5 months. Treatment tolerance was good with few side effects grade 3 or above, no acute toxicity and only one late toxicity. We have highlighted that hepatic artery haemorrhage was associated with the presence of a biliary prosthesis in contact with the artery (P=0.006) and in the irradiation field. There was no correlation with the dose delivered to the artery and hepatic artery haemorrhage. CONCLUSION Stereotactic radiation therapy for liver tumours allows a good local control with few secondary effects. Caution should be exercised when treating patients with biliary prostheses in the vicinity of the target volume because there is a risk of haemorrhage of the hepatic artery in contact with the prosthesis.

Abstract
We have just celebrated the 50th anniversary of cisplatin cytotoxic potential discovery. It is time to take stock… and it seems mainly positive. This drug, that revolutionized the treatment of many cancer types, continues to be the most widely prescribed chemotherapy. Despite significant toxicities, resistance mechanisms associated with treatment failures, and unresolved questions about its mechanism of action, the use of this cytotoxic agent remains unwavering. The interest concerning this "old" invincible drug has not yet abated. Indeed many research axes are in the news. New platinum salts agents are tested, new cisplatin formulations are developed to target tumor cells more efficiently, and new combinations are established to increase the cytotoxic potency of cisplatin or overcome the resistance mechanisms.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the adjuvant treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma by helical tomotherapy and the impact of low doses on esophageal and pulmonary toxicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between June 2007 and May 2011, 29 patients diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma received adjuvant radiotherapy by helical tomotherapy. The median age was 63 years (34-72). Histologically, 83 % of patients had epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma. Clinically, 45 % of patients were T3 and 55 % N0. Eighty six percent of the patients were treated by extrapleural pneumonectomy and 35 % received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with platinum and pemetrexed. The median dose in the pneumonectomy cavity was 50Gy at 2Gy/fraction. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 2.3 years after diagnosis. Overall survival at 1 and 2 years was 65 and 36 % respectively. The median survival from diagnosis was 18 months. Median lung volumes receiving 2, 5, 10, 13, 15 and 20Gy (V2, V5, V10, V13, V15 and V20) were 100, 98, 52, 36, 19 and 5 %. The median of the mean remaining lung dose was 11Gy. Two patients died of pulmonary complications, three patients had grade 3 lung toxicity, while esophageal grade 3-4 toxicity was observed in three other patients. No significant impact of clinical characteristics and dosimetric parameters were found on pulmonary toxicity, however a V10≥50 %, a V15≥15 % and mean lung dose of 10Gy or more had a tendency to be predictive of pulmonary toxicity (P<0.1). Moreover, in our analysis, the mean lung dose seems to have a significant impact on esophageal toxicity (P=0.03) as well as low doses to the controlateral lung: V5, V10 and V13 (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Helical tomotherapy is a promising technique in the multimodality treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma. Low doses received by the contralateral lung appear to be the limiting factor. A dosimetric comparison with volumetric modulated arctherapy techniques would be interesting in this setting.
