Outline of Final Research Achievements

In patients undergoing postoperative irradiation for cervical cancer who received preoperative chemotherapy (NAC), the greater the decrease in PD-L1 of tumor cells after NAC, the poorer the prognosis. This suggests that NAC may induce immunological changes that adversely affect cervical cancer outcomes. In advanced oral cancer, a single moderate dose of intra-arterial cisplatin (resection after radiotherapy if necessary) combined with 40-66 Gy of irradiation was found to be effective in patients with active tumor immunity with high PD-L1 expression in tumor cells and immune cells, and high numbers of CD8 in tumor tissues, compared to previously reported high-dose infusion of cisplatin with radiation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

子宮頸癌で術後照射を施行する場合、術前化学療法が免疫学的変化を誘導し、治療成績に悪影響を及ぼす患者が存在することを示唆する結果を得た。進行口腔癌では、活発な腫瘍免疫を有する患者では、従来の治療より治療強度の低い動脈内シスプラチン単回投与 (必要に応じて術後切除) と40-66Gy の放射線照射で、良好な結果が得られることを示した。これらの結果は、汎用性のある実用的な放射線感受性予測法の開発や癌細胞の生物学的特性に応じた個別化した放射線治療の実現に、貢献する結果と考えられる。
