Ionizing radiation (IR) can reprogram proteasome structure and function in cells and tissues. In this article, we show that IR can promote immunoproteasome synthesis with important implications for Ag processing and presentation and tumor immunity. Irradiation of a murine fibrosarcoma (FSA) induced dose-dependent de novo biosynthesis of the immunoproteasome subunits LMP7, LMP2, and Mecl-1, in concert with other changes in the Ag-presentation machinery (APM) essential for CD8+ T cell-mediated immunity, including enhanced expression of MHC class I (MHC-I), β2-microglobulin, transporters associated with Ag processing molecules, and their key transcriptional activator NOD-like receptor family CARD domain containing 5.

Herniation through the foramen of Winslow is rare, with a non-specific clinical presentation and his diagnosis may be difficult. A 44-year-old female was admitted with an acute epigastric abdominal pain. A computed tomography showed an internal hernia of the colon in the lesser sac.

The purpose of this study was to determine the dynamic contributions of different immune cell subsets to primary and abscopal tumor regression after hypofractionated radiation therapy (hRT) and the impact of anti-PD-1 therapy. A bilateral syngeneic FSA1 fibrosarcoma model was used in immunocompetent C3H mice, with delayed inoculation to mimic primary and microscopic disease. The effect of tumor burden on intratumoral and splenic immune cell content was delineated as a prelude to hRT on macroscopic T1 tumors with 3 fractions of 8 Gy while microscopic T2 tumors were left untreated.

Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM) remains an incurable disease despite extensive treatment with surgical resection, irradiation, and temozolomide. In line with many other forms of aggressive cancers, GBM is currently under consideration as a target for immunotherapy. However, GBM tends to be nonimmunogenic and exhibits a microenvironment with few or no effector T cells, a relatively low nonsynonymous somatic mutational load, and a low predicted neoantigen burden.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of adjuvant concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) as treatment of grade 2 and 3 (G2-3) localized extremity soft tissue sarcomas (STS) by comparing CCRT with standard adjuvant radiation therapy (RT).

Patients And Methods: This monocentric retrospective study included non-pediatric patients (>16years) treated by adjuvant RT with or without chemotherapy (CT) after conservative resection of non-recurrent G2-3 extremity STS.

Results: A total of 80 patients were treated between 1990 and 2012: 51 by RT and 29 by CCRT.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of bladder distension on doses to organs at risk in patients treated with 3D image-guided adaptive pulsed-dose-rate (PDR) brachytherapy (BT) for locally advanced cervical cancer.

Methods And Materials: Twenty-two patients who had previously been treated by external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), underwent BT treatment planning to a pelvic MRI (or a CT scan in case of contraindication) after their bladder was filled with 100 cc of physiological saline (full bladder). This was immediately followed by a CT scan after emptying of the bladder.
