简要总结
Treatment with adjuvant radiotherapy modulates immune system in many diseases as witnessed by dynamic changes of humoral and cellular immunity. Moreover, the persistent lymphopenia after radiation therapy is a negative prognostic factor. This study is aimed to explore the changes in immune-cell populations during radiotherapy given as adjuvant treatment for high-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas and to correlate them with patient's outcome.

入选标准
- •Age ≥ 18 years.
- •Signed written informed consent.
- •Histologically confirmed diagnosis of cSCC.
- •cSCC categorized as high risk according to ASTRO Guidelines:
- •close or positive margins that cannot be corrected with further surgery (secondary to morbidity or adverse cosmetic outcome).
- •gross perineural spread, as identified by radiological or pathological assessment.
- •disease recurrence after a prior margin-negative resection.
- •pathological stage T3 and T
- •desmoplastic or infiltrative tumors in the setting of chronic immunosuppression at pathological exam, cSCC involving regional lymphnodes, with the exception of a single, small (<3 cm) cervical lymph node harboring carcinoma, without extracapsular extension.
- •cSCC addressed to adjuvant radiotherapy as per clinical practice (a complete post-operative treatment should be administered with 50-54 or 60-66 Gy depending on the margin status).
- •Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance status of 0-2.
排除标准
- •cSCC not eligible for surgery.
- •cSCC not eligible for adjuvant radiotherapy for any condition depending on disease characteristics or patient characteristics, co-morbidities or refusal.
- •Any concurrent investigational product, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment.
- •Concurrent treatment with chemotherapy for the purpose of cSCC cure.
- •History or current evidence of any condition that, in the opinion of the treating investigator, might interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial.
- •Any major surgery, different from that planned for the protocol, in the 15 days before the protocol starting.
- •Any radiotherapy treatment in the 28 days before the protocol starting
- •Pregnant or breastfeeding.
