Proton FLASH radiotherapy enhances control of triple-negative breast cancer through STING-IRF3 and CD8+ T-cell immunity

Pierre Loap, Ioannis Paraskevaidis, Cezara Cheptea, Kristianna Kolker, Michele Kim, Jufri Setianegara, Kriti Singh, Iulia Maria Berianu, James Metz, Roger A. Greenberg, Warren B. Bilker, Eva Berlin, Charles‐Antoine Assenmacher, Constantinos Koumenis, Eric S. Diffenderfer, , Ioannis I. Verginadis

This study shows that FLASH proton radiotherapy enhances antitumor immunity and tumor control in triple-negative breast cancer by activating STING-IRF3 pathways and CD8+ T-cell responses.

Fractionated proton and photon FLASH irradiation mitigates radiation-induced lymphopenia through kinetic sparing of circulating lymphocytes

Cezara Cheptea, Pierre Loap, Andrew Friberg, Kathryn H. Brown, Ioannis Paraskevaidis, Kristianna Kolker, Michele Kim, Mihaela Ghita, Mark P McDowell, Shiva Shahrampour, Bonnie Ky, Kevin Soon Hwee Teo, James Metz, Constantinos Koumenis, Jufri Setianegara, , Ioannis I. Verginadis

This study shows FLASH irradiation reduces radiation-induced lymphopenia in mice by sparing circulating lymphocytes, with durable CD8 T cell preservation across proton and photon modalities.
