    Title translation Multimodal treatment concepts of local radiation therapy with immunotherapy : Rationale for combination therapy and possible clinical treatment strategies.
    Abstract Immunotherapy has been established in the treatment of cancer in general and specifically in uro-oncology. The rationale to combine these therapies with radiotherapy is based on the biological effects of irradiation, which exceed the "physical" properties of irradiation to kill tumor cells. Depending on radiation dose and fractionation as well as tumor model or tumor entity used, irradiation can lead to immune stimulation or immune inhibition. As immune response is not limited to the local tumor microenvironment but occurs on a systemic level, a successful anticancer immune response after irradiation of one metastasis can lead to systemic tumor control (abscopal effect). Clinical trials test combination regimens in locally advanced tumors in the curative setting to improve survival rates and in the metastatic setting to prolong survival in palliative treatment. In addition, radiotherapy is used for local treatment of oligometastases and oligoprogression under palliative systemic therapy.

    Abstract Background & aims: Sleep disturbances are widespread in modern societies and linked to a variety of diseases, creating an urgent need for the development of products that help combat sleep difficulties. One suitable nutritional supplement may be a fish hydrolysate composed of low molecular weight peptides.
    Methods: This two-arm, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study investigated the effect of a 4-week fish hydrolysate intervention on sleep in a healthy German population reporting poor sleep quality, assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Further sleep parameters were measured using an online diary and a wrist wearable device. Additionally, questionnaires related to stress, anxiety, depression, and well-being were evaluated and salivary cortisol and product satisfaction were assessed.
    Results: The 4-week fish hydrolysate supplementation significantly improved subjective sleep quality measured with the PSQI-score (p = .002). Moreover, individuals reported improvements in sleep efficacy and a reduction in sleep disturbances and daytime sleepiness during fish hydrolysate intake (p = .013, p = .046, p = .004 respectively), but not during placebo phase (all p > .05). No significant intra-individual differences were found between fish hydrolysate and placebo supplementation (p > .05).
    Conclusions: Although no significant intra-individual differences were found between fish hydrolysate and placebo supplementation, the significant improvement in subjective sleep quality from baseline to treatment phase suggests that fish hydrolysate is a safe nutritional supplement to support individuals with self-reported sleep problems.
    Clinical trial registration: The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with the Identifier NCT04983355.

    Abstract Background: Biomarkers are of major interest to optimize diagnosis, prognosis and to guide treatment in head and neck cancer patients. Especially blood-based biomarkers appear promising as they can be easily collected and repeatedly analyzed during the course of radiochemotherapy.
    Patients and methods: At first, for a broad overview, multiple immune markers were evaluated in six plasma samples of three head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients at the beginning and the end of radio-chemotherapy. In this pre-selection, the soluble Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (sICAM-1) appeared most promising. Thus, this marker was measured in multiple samples (n = 86) during treatment and follow-up in a cohort of eleven patients and correlated with tumor features and clinical data.
    Results: We found a strong correlation between the initial levels of sICAM-1 in the plasma and the gross tumor volumes of the primary tumor and the involved lymph nodes. However, during the course of treatment no systematic dynamics could be identified. Toxicity or infections did not seem to influence sICAM-1 concentrations.
    Conclusions: sICAM-1 appears to reflect the pre-treatment total tumor burden (primary tumor and involved lymph nodes) in head and neck tumor patients. However, it does not seem to be a dynamic marker reflecting response during radiochemotherapy. Thus, if our findings are confirmed in future, sICAM-1 could be used as a staging marker: if high sICAM-1 levels but low tumor burden are found it might be reasonable to intensify staging investigations to rule out further, yet undetected, tumor sites.

    Abstract DNA damage is one of the foremost mechanisms of irradiation at the biological level. After the first isolation of DNA by Friedrich Miescher in the 19th century, the structure of DNA was described by Watson and Crick. Several Nobel Prizes have been awarded for DNA-related discoveries. This review aims to describe the historical perspective of DNA in radiation biology. Over the decades, DNA damage has been identified and quantified after irradiation. Depending on the type of sensing, different proteins are involved in sensing DNA damage and repairing the damage, if possible. For double-strand breaks, the main repair mechanisms are non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination. Additional mechanisms are the Fanconi anaemia pathway and base excision repair. Different methods have been developed for the detection of DNA double-strand breaks. Several drugs have been developed that interfere with different DNA repair mechanisms, e.g., PARP inhibitors. These drugs have been established in the standard treatment of different tumour entities and are being applied in several clinical trials in combination with radiotherapy. Over the past decades, it has become apparent that DNA damage mechanisms are also directly linked to the immune response in tumours. For example, cytosolic DNA fragments activate the innate immune system via the cGAS STING pathway.
