Abstract

Objective: In our study, we aimed to compare the dose distrubutions of Accuray brand TomoTherapy device Volo treatment planning system lung stereoactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and intensity-adjusted radiation therapy in cancer dose distributions obtained using (IMRT) techniques and environmental doses.
Matetial and Method: Computed Tomography (CT) images of 7 patients were transferred to the MIM contouring station for dose measurement. CT target volume via image; PTV right or left lung ,critical organs: heart, costa,esophagus, medulla, bilateral lung transferred to planning system. Lung tumors created virtually. In study 1 cm tumor of the size it is formed to be cm,3 cm and 5 cm. Spouse as lungtumor sizes change.in time, the cross-section (jaw) area of the TomoTherapy device will also be 1 cm, 2.5 cm and 5 cm it has been modified and tested for SBRT and IMRT techniques at each tumor size.
Results: PTV dose treatment plans have been established to be 60 Gy and 3 fractions. The study 1 cm tumor of the size SBRT and IMRT techniques compared to the treatment of lung cancer as a result for 1 cm jaw, 2.5 cm jaw and 5 cm jaw in cm tumor size and 5 cm tumor PTV max, D95 values for 1 cm jaw used in size and bilateral, which is the critical organs. A significant difference in lung max values was found in favor of SBRT (p<0.05). 3 cm tumor size used in 1 cm, 2.5 cm and 5 cm jaw areas and 5 cm treatment compared to 2.5 and 5 cm jaw areas used in cm tumor bouts statistics on ptv max and bilateral lung max values at the end of the analysis, an agreed difference was found in favor of the SBRT (p<0.05) during treatment periods. At the end of statistical analysis in 1 cm jaw area used in 1 cm tumor size a significant difference in favor of IMRT has been identified.(p<0.05) and no significant differences were found for other critical organs (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: As a result, 1 cm, 3 cm and 5 cm tumor sizes used in 1 cm, 2.5 cm and 5 cm section (jaw) areas according to both techniques preserved critical organs. But the SBRT technique showed better results in terms of target volume (PTV) and both lungs.

Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmamızda Accuray marka Tomoterapi cihazının volo tedavi planlama sistemiyle akciğer kanserinde Stereotaktik Beden Radyoterapisi (SBRT) ve Yoğunluk Ayarlı Radyoterapi (IMRT) teknikleri kullanılarak elde edilen doz dağılımlarının ve çevre dozların karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Doz ölçümü için 7 hastanın Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) görüntüleri üç boyutlu konturlama yazlım sistemi (MIM) konturluma istasyonuna aktarılmıştır. Tedavi başlamadan önce çekilmiş bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri, network sistemi yardımıyla üç boyutlu konturlama sistemine aktarılarak,hastanın tümör ve kritik organları belirlenmiştir. BT görüntüsü üzerinden hedef hacim; planlanan hedef hacim (PTV) sağ veya sol akciğer, kritik organlar; kalp,kosta, özefagus, medulla, bilateral akciğer (her iki akciğer) belirlenerek Tomotheraphy Volo Planlama Sistemi’ne aktarılmıştır. Çalışmada sanal olarak oluşturulan akciğer tümörleri 1 cm, 3 cm ve 5 cm olacak şekilde oluşturulmuştur. Akciğer tümör boyutları değişirken eş zamanlı olarak tomoterapi cihazının kesit (jaw) alanı da 1 cm, 2.5 cm ve 5 cm olacak şekilde değiştirilerek her bir tümör boyutunda SBRT ve IMRT teknikleri için denenmiştir. PTV dozu 60 Gy ve 3 fraksiyon olacak şekilde tedavi planları oluşturulmuştur.
Bulgular: Yapılan çalışma sonucunda Akciğer kanserinin tedavisinde karşılaştırılan SBRT ve IMRT tekniklerinden 1 cm’lik tümör boyutunda 1 cm’lik jaw , 2.5 cm’lik jaw ve 5 cm’lik jaw için ve 5 cm’lik tümör boyutunda kullanılan 1 cm’lik jaw için PTV max, D95 değerleri ve kritik organ olan bilateral akciğer max değerleri üzerinde SBRT lehine anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmıştır (p<0.05). 3 cm’lik tümör boyutunda kullanılan 1 cm’lik, 2.5 cm’lik ve 5 cm’lik jaw alanlarında ve 5 cm’lik tümör boutunda kullanılan 2,5 ve 5 cm’lik jaw alanlarında karşılaştırılan tedavi yöntemleri için PTV max ve bilateral akciğer max değerleri üzerinde yapılan istatistiksel analiz sonucunda SBRT lehine anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmıştır.(p<0,05)Tedavi sürelerinde ise 1 cm’lik tümör boyutunda kullanılan 1 cm’lik jaw alanında istatistiksel analiz sonucunda IMRT lehine anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmıştır (p<0,05) ve diğer kritik organlar için ise anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmamıştır (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, 1 cm, 3 cm ve 5 cm’lik tümör boyutlarında kullanılan 1 cm, 2.5 cm ve 5 cm kesit (jaw) alanlarına göre her iki teknikte kritik organları korumuştur. Fakat SBRT tekniğinin hedef hacim (PTV) ve her iki akciğer açısından daha iyi sonuçlar verdiği görülmüştür.
