摘要:
目的 探讨基于图像引导系统的乳腺癌保乳术后行容积旋转调强放疗(volumetric modulated arc therapy, VMAT)患者在投照过程中摆位误差的实时校正及剂量学参数变化。 方法 选取 2020年10月至2021年12月天津医科大学肿瘤医院收治的20例保乳术后行VMAT患者,随机分为对照组10例和试验组10例,放疗时行图像引导,对误差数据进行统计学分析,将摆位误差引入治疗计划重新计算,比较两组剂量学差异。 结果 对照组和试验组在左右(LR)、腹背(AP)、头脚(SI)方向的摆位误差校正前分别为(3.58±2.35)mm和(3.51±2.08)mm、(4.44±3.62)mm 和(4.23±2.17)mm、(2.85±2.36)mm和(2.99±1.90)mm。对照组在治疗后摆位误差分别为(2.64±1.62)、(3.15±1.50)、(2.49±1.70)mm;试验组在治疗中与治疗后摆位误差分别为(2.07±1.65)mm与 (1.85±1.22)mm、(2.29±1.93) mm与(1.78±1.26)mm、(1.98±1.49)mm与(1.67±1.27) mm。LR、AP、SI方向摆位误差≤3 mm时试验组占比多于对照组,两组比较差异均具有统计学意义(χ2=21.07、60.76、33.63,均P<0.01);两组在治疗后摆位误差比较差异亦均具有统计学意义(t=6.36、10.35、5.60,均P<0.05)。试验组在肿瘤区和临床靶区处方剂量的覆盖体积、心脏平均剂量、肺受照剂量均有优势,两组比较差异均具有统计学意义(均P<0.05)。 结论 实时图像引导系统能校正患者投照过程中的摆位误差,治疗中增加一次校正可明显减小分次内摆位误差,并获得更好的剂量学结果。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the setup errors and their dosimetric impacts during volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery in patients using an image guidance system. Methods Twenty patients who underwent VMAT after breast-conserving surgery at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital between October 2020 and December 2021 were randomly assigned into the control (n=10) and experimental groups (n=10). The error data were statistically analyzed, and the dosimetric impacts of the positional errors were compared between the two groups by recalculating the treatment plans with the measured setup errors. Results In the control and experimental groups, the setup errors were (3.58±2.35) and (3.51±2.08) mm, (4.44±3.62) and (4.23±2.17) mm, and (2.85±2.36) and (2.99±1.90) mm along the left-right (LR), anterior-posterior (AP), and superior-inferior (SI) directions, respectively. In the control group, the displacement in the LR, AP, and SI directions after irradiation were (2.64±1.62) mm, (3.15±1.50) mm, and (2.49±1.70) mm, respectively. In the experimental group, the displacement in the LR, AP, and SI directions after the first and second arc deliveries were (2.07±1.65) mm and (1.85±1.22) mm, (2.29±1.93) mm and (1.78±1.26) mm, and (1.98±1.49) mm and (1.67±1.27) mm, respectively. The experimental group had more posttreatment positional errors ≤3 mm in the LR, AP and SI directions than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=21.07, 60.76, 33.63; P<0.01). The posttreatment displacement exhibited a statistically significant difference between the two groups (t=6.36, 10.35, 5.60; P<0.05). The dosimetric parameters from the recalculated virtual treatment plans showed that the experimental group was significantly superior to the control group in terms of the proportion of gross tumor volume and clinical target volume receiving the prescription dose, the mean dose of the heart, and the dose of the lung (P<0.05). Conclusions The real-time image guidance system can correct setup errors during radiotherapy. Intrafractional correction significantly reduced patient setup errors and obtained better dosimetric results. -
