Abstract (sommario):

Purpose: This study aims to compare the dosimetric differences in intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) using pencil beam scanning technology and intensity-modulated photon-based radiotherapy (IMRT) in hypofractionated whole-breast irradiation (HF-WBI) and find out the more beneficial technique. Methods and Materials: Eight breast cancer (BC) patients with pathological stage T1 ~ 2N0M0 were immobilized and underwent 4D-CT scanning used deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technology. The IMPT and IMRT plans were designed for each patient. The IMPT plans used two en-face beam angles. IMRT plans were designed using the field in field technique. The optimization constraints of the two types of plans were identical. Prescription dose and regimen was 40.05 Gy (relative biological effect [RBE])/15 fx with a 10 Gy (RBE)/5 fx boost, five fractions a week. A dose of 95% of the target volume should not be less than the prescribed dose. The target coverage was evaluated using D1, D2, D50, D95, D98, and D99. The target dose distribution and conformity were evaluated using the Conformity index (CI) and the homogeneity index (HI). The Organs at risk (OARs) were evaluated using mean dose (Dmean) and maximum dose (Dmax). Ipsilateral Lung and Contralateral Lung were evaluated additionally using V5, V10, V20, V30. Results: The mean dose (Dmean) of the Heart (P = 0.012), Ipsilateral Lung (P = 0.036), Contralateral Lung (P = 0.012), and Spinal Cord (P = 0.012) were significantly reduced in IMPT plans. The IMPT also showed a tendency to reduce the V20 (P = 0.05) and V30 (P = 0.05) of the Ipsilateral Lung. But there was no significant difference in target coverage, homogeneity, and conformity between the IMRT and IMPT plans. Conclusion: Compared to IMRT, the IMPT using pencil beam scanning technology can spare OARs without compromising target coverage in BC patients undergoing HF-WBI, which potentially reduce the incidence of radiation-related adverse effects and thus may positively impact long-term survival.

Abstract (sommario):

This study aimed to compare different types of right breast cancer radiotherapy planning techniques and to estimate the whole-body effective doses and the critical organ absorbed doses. The three planning techniques are intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT; two methods) and hybrid 3D-CRT/IMRT (three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy/intensity-modulated radiotherapy). The VMAT technique includes two methods to deliver a dose: non-continuous partial arc and continuous partial arc. A thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is placed in the RANDO phantom to estimate the organ absorbed dose. Each planning technique applies 50.4 Gy prescription dose and treats critical organs, including the lung and heart. Dose-volume histogram was used to show the planning target volume (V95%), homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI), and other optimized indices. The estimation of whole-body effective dose was based on the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP) Publication 60 and 103. The results were as follows: Continuous partial arc and non-continuous partial arc showed the best CI and HI. The heart absorbed doses in the continuous partial arc and hybrid 3D-CRT/IMRT were 0.07 ± 0.01% and 0% (V5% and V10%, respectively). The mean dose of the heart was lowest in hybrid 3D-CRT/IMRT (1.47 Gy ± 0.02). The dose in the left contralateral lung (V5%) was lowest in continuous partial arc (0%). The right ipsilateral lung average dose and V20% are lowest in continuous partial arc. Hybrid 3D-CRT/IMRT has the lowest mean dose to contralateral breast (organs at risk). The whole-body effective doses for ICRP-60 and ICRP-103 were highest in continuous partial arc (2.01 Sv ± 0.23 and 2.89 Sv ± 0.15, respectively). In conclusion, the use of VMAT with continuous arc has a lower risk of radiation pneumonia, while hybrid 3D-CRT/IMRT attain lower secondary malignancy risk and cardiovascular complications.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Objective To summarize our experience in the treatment of pituitary somatotroph adenomas by fractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), describe the treatment outcomes, and determine predictors. Methods and Materials Patients with pituitary somatotroph adenoma treated by IMRT in our institution from August 2009 to January 2019 were reviewed. A total of 113 patients (37 male) were included in this study. The median age was 33 years (range 12-67 years). A total of 112 patients had not achieved complete remission after surgery, and 1 patient was treated by radiotherapy (RT) alone because she refused to surgery. The median growth hormone level was 8.6 ng/mL (range 2-186 ng/mL) and the median insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 level was 732 ng/mL (range 314-1485 ng/mL) pre-RT. The radiation doses to clinical target volume were usually 50-56 Gy in 25 to 30 fractions and to gross tumor volume were 60.2 Gy in 28 fractions while simultaneous integrated boost-IMRT used. After RT, the patients were followed up with endocrine testing every 6 to 12 months and magnetic resonance imaging annually. Endocrine complete remission was deﬁned as a normal sex- and age-adjusted IGF-1 level without any pituitary suppressive medications. The outcomes including endocrine remission and new hypopituitarism after RT were recorded. The median follow-up time was 36 months (range 6-105.5 months). Results The endocrine complete remission rates of IGF-1 at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years were 6%, 22.8%, 48.6%, and 74.3%, respectively. The median time to complete remission was 36.2 ± 3.8 months. The tumor control rate was 99% during the follow-up. The overall incidence of RT-induced hypopituitarism was 28.3% at the last follow-up. Univariate and multivariate analysis demonstrated that tumor sizes before RT, pre-RT IGF-1 level, and age significant predicted the endocrine remission. Conclusions IMRT is a highly effective treatment for pituitary somatotroph adenoma. Endocrine remission rate, tumor control rate, the median time to remission and hypopituitarism incidence are similar to stereotactic radiosurgery. Age and IGF-1 level before RT were significant predictive factors in endocrine remission.

Abstract (sommario):

Objectives: Pelvic lymph nodal regions receive an incidental dose from conformal treatment of the prostate. This study was conducted to investigate the doses received by the different pelvic nodal regions with varying techniques used for prostate radiotherapy. Methods and Materials: Twenty patients of high-risk node-negative prostate cancer treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy to the prostate alone were studied. Replanning was done for intensity-modulated radiotherapy, 3-dimensional conformal treatment, and 2-dimensional conventional radiotherapy with additional delineation of the pelvic nodal regions, namely, common iliac (upper and lower), presacral, internal iliac, obturator, and external iliac. Dose–volume parameters such as Dmean, D100%, D66%, D33%, V40, and V50 to each of the nodal regions were estimated for all patients. Results: The obturator nodes received the highest dose among all nodal regions. The mean dose received by obturator nodal region was 44, 29, and 22 Gy from 2-dimensional conventional radiotherapy, 3-dimensional conformal treatment, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, respectively. The mean dose was significantly higher when compared between 2-dimensional conventional radiotherapy and 3-dimensional conformal treatment ( P < .001), 2-dimensional conventional radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy ( P < .001), and 3-dimensional conformal treatment and intensity-modulated radiotherapy ( P < .001). The D33% of the obturator region was 64, 39, and 37 Gy from 2-dimensional conventional radiotherapy, 3-dimensional conformal treatment, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, respectively. The dose received by all other pelvic nodal regions was low and not clinically relevant. Conclusion: The incidental dose received by obturator regions is significant especially with 2-dimensional conventional radiotherapy and 3-dimensional conformal treatment techniques as used in the trials studying elective pelvic nodal irradiation. However, with intensity-modulated radiotherapy, this dose is lower, making elective pelvic irradiation more relevant. Advances in Knowledge: This study highlights that incidental dose received by obturator regions is significant especially with 2-dimensional conventional radiotherapy and 3-dimensional conformal treatment techniques.

Abstract (sommario):

The modern practice of radiotherapy centres on the development of conformai radiotherapy, techniques to ensure the high-dose volume is tightly wrapped around the diseased tissue and excluded as far as possible from adjacent normal structures. The development of conformai radiotherapy is a chain of processes involving treatment planning, development of new methods to deliver radiation, verification of the accuracy of radiation delivery and improvement of biological outcome. This is an enormous field of activity. This invited review paper summarises some of the main elements of progress towards implementing intensity-modulated conformai radiotherapy. This is the newest and most exciting development and, when achieved clinically, will lead to a quantum leap in tumour control probability with a fixed level of normal tissue damage.

Abstract (sommario):

Radiotherapy given after mastectomy (PMRT) will reduce the risk of local recurrence by about two-thirds. Clinical and dosimetric trials were carried out using various techniques to optimize the treatments by maximizing the dose to the tumour and minimizing it to the healthy tissues at proximity. Different conventional techniques which have been studied suffer from important dose inhomogeneities due to the complex anatomy of the chest, which reduces the benefits from such treatments. Moreover, due to the heterogeneity of breast cancer, the response to therapy and a systematic approach to treatment cannot be derived and treatment regimens must be determined on a patient-by-patient basis. This is only possible if accurate and fast treatment planning systems are available. Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) allows delivering higher doses to the target volume and limits the doses to the surrounding tissues. The objective of this study is to test the feasibility of applying a Monte Carlo-based treatment planning system, Hyperion accurately in routine Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) postmastectomy. In order to use a treatment planning system for routine work it should prove to provide optimized dose delivery in a suitable time. Treatment planning for IMRT application to PMRT was performed using Hyperion. Constraints were set to deliver the prescribed dose to the target and minimize the dose to the organs at risk. Dose Volume Histograms (DVH) were used to evaluate the set up plans. Time taken to optimize the plan was measured. The target coverage was within the accepted values. Approximately 90% of the breast and 80% of the PTV received 45 Gy or above. The volume of the lung that received 40Gy was less than 10% and the volume that received 20Gy (V20) was less than 25%. The volume of the heart receiving 30 Gy (V30) or above was negligible. This indicates low NTCP of these organs. The time taken for optimization, showed it possible to apply Monte Carlo-based treatment-planning systems for patient-to-patient PMRT.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Background It is still controversial whether intensity-modulated radiotherapy has an obvious advantage over conventional radiotherapy. The purposes of this study were to evaluate prognostic factors in pre-treatment characteristics for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and to compare treatment outcomes in patients who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy and patients who received two-dimensional radiotherapy or three-dimensional radiotherapy. Methods We reviewed patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who received chemoradiotherapy in our hospital during the period from 2000 to 2017, and we excluded patients who had a history of surgery for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and those who had distant metastases before treatment. A total of 72 patients who were treated by radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy were enrolled. All of the patients were irradiated with a total dose of 58–70 Gy. Overall survival, locoregional control and progression-free survival rates were compared in the groups treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy and two-dimensional/three-dimensional radiotherapy. Propensity score matching was performed to homogenize the two groups. Results The median follow-up period was 62.5 months. After propensity score matching, in patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy, the 5-year rate of overall survival, locoregional control and progression-free survival were 73.5, 95.2 and 72.7%, respectively. In patients treated with two-dimensional/three-dimensional radiotherapy, the 5-year rate of overall survival, locoregional control and progression-free survival were 69.1, 67.7 and 51.8%, respectively. There was a significant difference between the groups only in locoregional control. Late toxicities of grade 2 or higher were occurred in 38.5 and 24.2% of the patients treated by two-dimensional/three-dimensional radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, respectively. Conclusions Our results suggested that intensity-modulated radiotherapy is more effective than two-dimensional/three-dimensional radiotherapy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, especially in locoregional control.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Nasopharyngeal cancer shows a good response to intensity-modulated radiotherapy. However, there is no clear evidence for the benefits of routine use of image-guided radiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to perform a retrospective investigation of the treatment outcomes, treatment-related complications and prognostic factors for nasopharyngeal cancer treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy and image-guided radiotherapy techniques. Retrospective analysis was performed on 326 consecutive nasopharyngeal cancer patients treated between 2004 and 2015. Potentially significant patient-related and treatment-related variables were analyzed. Radiation-related complications were recorded. The 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates of these patients were 77.9% and 70.5%, respectively. Age, AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) stage, retropharyngeal lymphadenopathy, treatment interruption and body mass index were independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Age, AJCC stage, retropharyngeal lymphadenopathy, image-guided radiotherapy and body mass index were independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival. In conclusion, intensity-modulated radiotherapy significantly improves the treatment outcomes of nasopharyngeal cancer. With the aid of image-guided radiotherapy, the advantage of intensity-modulated radiotherapy might be further amplified.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to retrospectively evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of post-operative small pelvic intensity-modulated radiotherapy in early-stage cervical cancer patients with intermediate-risk factors. Methods Between 2012 and 2016, 151 patients who had cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage I–IIA) with intermediate-risk factors were treated with post-operative small pelvic intensity-modulated radiotherapy. The median dose of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions with small pelvic intensity-modulated radiotherapy was prescribed to the planning target volume. The intensity-modulated radiotherapy technique used was conventional fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy or helical tomotherapy. Results The median follow-up was 37 months. The 3-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates were 89 and 96%, respectively. A total of 144 patients (95.3%) were alive at the last follow-up. In total, 6 patients (3.9%) had recurrence: locoregional recurrence in 3 patients (2%), distant metastasis in 2 (1.3%), and both in 1 (0.6%). Diarrhoea was the most common acute toxicity. There were no patients suffering from acute or late grade ≥ 3 toxicity. Only 4 patients (2.6%) had late grade 2 toxicities. Conclusions For early-stage cervical cancer patients with intermediate-risk factors, post-operative small pelvic intensity-modulated radiotherapy was safe and well tolerated. The rates of acute and late toxicities were quite satisfactory.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractIntensity-modulated radiootherapy (IMRT) is being rapidly embraced as a radiotherapy technique in many cancer centres across the world. This paper aims to highlight the reported problems associated with the use of IMRT for the treatment of head and neck cancer. Specific areas of concern that are mentioned are the identification of tumour volumes, reproducibility of treatment, issues of tumour resistance and tumour recurrence. Radiotherapy departments are advised to make haste slowly when considering the implementation of this technique.
