BACKGROUND: Curative effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have been evaluated using various biophysical models. Because such model parameters are empirically determined based on clinical experience, there is a large gap between in vitro and clinical studies. In this study, considering the heterogeneous cell population, we performed a translational study to realize the possible linkage based on a modeling approach.

METHODS: We modeled cell-killing and tumor control probability (TCP) considering two populations: progeny and cancer stem-like cells. The model parameters were determined from in vitro survival data of A549 and EBC-1 cells. Based on the cellular parameters, we predicted TCP and compared it with the corresponding clinical data from 553 patients collected at Hirosaki University Hospital.

RESULTS: Using an all-in-one developed model, the so-called integrated microdosimetric-kinetic (IMK) model, we successfully reproduced both in vitro survival after acute irradiation and the 3-year TCP with various fractionation schemes (6-10 Gy per fraction). From the conventional prediction without considering cancer stem cells (CSCs), this study revealed that radioresistant CSCs play a key role in the linkage between in vitro and clinical outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS: This modeling study provides a possible generalized biophysical model that enables precise estimation of SBRT worldwide.
