ENDOMETRİUM KANSERLERİNDE YOĞUNLUK AYARLI RADYOTERAPİ İLE 3 BOYUTLU KONFORMAL RADYOTERAPİNİN DOZİMETRİK OLARAK KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI

Year 2011, Volume: 14 Issue: 4, 96 - 101, 01.10.2011

Abstract

Endometrium kanserli olgularda 3 boyutlu konformal radyoterapi
(3B KRT) ile yoğunluk ayarlı radyoterapinin (YART) doz volüm
histogramlarının karşılaştırılması ve YART’ın kalite kontrolünün
değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Erken evre endometrium kanserli 15
olgu çal›flmaya dahil edilmifltir. Olgular›n prone pozisyonda bilgisayarları
tomografi görüntüleri alınmıştır, ve tedavi planlama sisteminde
CTV (klinik tümör volümü), PTV (planlanan tedavi volümü) ve kritik
organlar olan ince bağırsak, rektum ve mesane volümleri
belirlenmiştir. Her olgu için 3B KRT ve YART tedavi tekniklerine göre
planlamalar yapılmış ve doz volüm histogramları karşılaştırmıştır.
YART tekniğinin kalite kontrolünde, planlanan ve ölçülen dozları
karşılşmak için absolüt dozimetrede iyon odası ve rölatif dozimetrede
radyografik x ışını doğrulama filmleri kullanılmıştır.
YART’de 3BKRT ile karşılaştırıldığında; rektum, mesane ve ince
bağırsak için 45 Gy alan doz volüm yüzdeli¤inde azalma saptanmıştır
(sırasıyla; %50, %42, %4, p<0.05). PTV 4500 cGy alacak şekilde planlama
yapıldığında, hacmin %95’inin aldığı doz 3B KRT’de 4418 cGy
iken YART modelinde 4500 cGy olup, YART modelinde PTV’nin daha
homojen sarıldığı gösterilmifltir. YART’ın kalite kontrol
değerlendirmesinde hata payları sın›ılar içinde bulunmuş, rölatif
dozimetrede ortalama hata %1.088, ve absolüt dozimetrede gamma
indeksin (g) £1 oldu¤u saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak endometrium
kanserlerinde YART tedavi tekniğinin, 3B KRT tekniğine göre PTV’de
daha homojen doz dağılımı, kritik organ dozlarında daha fazla düşüş
sağladığı ve tedavinin yüksek doğrulukta uygulanabileceği gösterilmiştir.

Abstract

Our aim is to compare dose-volume histograms of 3D conformal
radiotherapy with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and to
test the quality assurance of IMRT in endometrial cancer patients.
Fifteen consecutive patients with early stage endometrial cancer were
included in the study. Computed tomography (CT) scans of each
patients were obtained in prone position and CTV (clinical target volume),
PTV (planning target volume) and organs at risk (bladder, rectum
and small intestine) volumes were delineated on treatment planning
system. Each patient was planned with 3D conformal radiotherapy
(4-field pelvic box) and IMRT and dose-volume histograms of
each plan were compared. Calculated and measured doses of IMRT
plans were compared for the quality assurance purposes of IMRT
using the following 2 methods: 1) ion chamber for absolute dosimetry
2) radiographical X ray film verification for relative dosimetry. IMRT
reduced V45 of rectum, bladder and small intestine by (50%, 42%, 4%
p<0.05, respectively). Both plans were normalized to deliver 4500 cGy
to the PTV and D95 of PTV was 4500 cGy for IMRT and 4418 cGy for
3D CRT and more homogenous dose coverage was achieved with
IMRT. Quality assurance tests of IMRT revealed that margin of error
was within the limits (mean error was 1.088% for relative dosimetry
and gamma index (g) was £1 for absolute dosimetry). In conclusion
IMRT provides better PTV coverage and decreases the doses of critical
organs and the quality assurance results suggest that IMRT could
be performed with high precision.
