Abstract 4082: Preclinical assessment of external or targeted radiotherapy in combination with immunotherapies and co-development of companion imagin…
2019
Abstract Immunotherapies have proven to be highly efficient for cancer treatments and combination with either internal vectorized or external radiotherapies can enhance this efficacy through notably increasing tumor immune infiltrate. The clinical evaluation of such combination therapies requires expertise and exquisite processes in multiple fields, immunotherapy, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine. Similarly, this applies into preclinical settings for assessing proof of concept of novel combinations. Herein, we will present our preclinical evaluation process to combine external or internal (i.e. lutetium-177 radiolabeled molecule) radiotherapy with immunotherapies that include radiochemistr…

e16136 Background: ETRR in PCa remains a challenging task. New biomarkers in the form of metabolites, detected with Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (1H-MRS), and quantitative Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC), determined with Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging, could be of value in the ETRR for PCa. Methods: Twenty-one men with biopsy proven localized PCa were examined before external radiotherapy. 3D-1H-MRS was performed at 3.0T without endorectal coils. The delivered radiotherapy dose was 78 Gy in 39 fractions with 6 MV photons. MR follow-up examinations up to 36 months post-radiotherapy were performed. For the pre-clinical study, healthy rat prostate was studied in …
