Monocentric cohorts suggested that radiation-induced CD8 T-lymphocyte apoptosis (RILA) can predict late toxicity after curative intent radiotherapy (RT). We assessed the role of RILA as a predictor of breast fibrosis (bf +) after adjuvant breast RT in a prospective multicenter trial.
A total of 502 breast-cancer patients (pts) treated by conservative surgery and adjuvant RT were recruited at ten centers. RILA was assessed before RT by flow cytometry. Impact of RILA on bf + (primary endpoint) or relapse was assessed using a competing risk method. Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were also performed in intention to treat. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00893035 and final analyses are presented here.
Four hundred and fifty-six pts (90.8%) were included in the final analysis. One hundred and eight pts (23.7%) received whole breast and node irradiation. A boost dose of 10-16 Gy was delivered in 449 pts (98.5%). Adjuvant hormonotherapy was administered to 349 pts (76.5%). With a median follow-up of 38.6 months, grade ≥ 2 bf + was observed in 64 pts (14%). A decreased incidence of grade ≥ 2 bf + was observed for increasing values of RILA (p = 0.012). No grade 3 bf + was observed for patients with RILA ≥ 12%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.62. For cut-off values of RILA ≥ 20% and < 12%, sensitivity and specificity were 80% and 34%, 56% and 67%, respectively. Negative predictive value for grade ≥ 2 bf + was equal to 91% for RILA ≥ 20% and positive predictive value was equal to 22% for RILA < 12% where the overall prevalence of grade ≥ 2 bf + was estimated at 14%. A significant decrease in the risk of grade ≥ 2 bf + was found if patients had no adjuvant hormonotherapy (sHR = 0.31, p = 0.007) and presented a RILA ≥ 12% (sHR = 0.45, p = 0.002).
RILA significantly predicts the risk of breast fibrosis. This study validates the use of RILA as a rapid screening test before RT delivery and will change definitely our daily clinical practice in radiation oncology.

单中心队列研究表明,辐射诱导的 CD8 T 淋巴细胞凋亡(RILA)可预测根治性放疗后晚期毒性。我们在一项前瞻性多中心试验中评估了 RILA 作为辅助乳房放疗后乳房纤维化(bf +)预测因子的作用。
共招募了 10 个中心的 502 名接受保乳手术和辅助放疗的乳腺癌患者(pts)。在放疗前通过流式细胞术评估 RILA。使用竞争风险方法评估 RILA 对 bf +(主要终点)或复发的影响。还在意向治疗中进行了接收者操作特征(ROC)曲线分析。这项研究在 ClinicalTrials.gov 注册,编号为 NCT00893035,此处呈现最终分析结果。
共有 456 名 pts(90.8%)纳入最终分析。108 名 pts(23.7%)接受全乳房和淋巴结照射。449 名 pts(98.5%)接受了 10-16 Gy 的增量剂量。349 名 pts(76.5%)接受了辅助激素治疗。中位随访 38.6 个月,64 名 pts(14%)观察到≥2 级 bf +。RILA 值增加时,观察到≥2 级 bf +的发生率降低(p = 0.012)。对于 RILA≥12%的患者,未观察到 3 级 bf +。ROC 曲线下面积为 0.62。对于 RILA≥20%和<12%的截断值,敏感性和特异性分别为 80%和 34%、56%和 67%。RILA≥20%的阴性预测值为 91%,RILA<12%的阳性预测值为 22%,其中≥2 级 bf +的总体患病率估计为 14%。如果患者未接受辅助激素治疗(sHR = 0.31,p = 0.007)且存在 RILA≥12%(sHR = 0.45,p = 0.002),则发现≥2 级 bf +的风险显著降低。
RILA 可显著预测乳房纤维化的风险。这项研究验证了 RILA 作为放疗前快速筛选试验的使用,并将改变我们在放射肿瘤学中的日常临床实践。
