影像引导对乳腺癌调强放射治疗精度的影响

目的：分析在乳腺癌图像引导放射治疗（IGRT）过程中,图像引导对于放射治疗的精确度的影响;同时观察图像引导放射治疗的毒性反应及放射治疗近期的治疗效果。方法：搜集2012年1月-2013年2月间,于哈尔滨医科大学附属第三医院放疗科收治的乳腺癌患者25例。使用医科达SynergyTM锥形束CT（CBCT）进行治疗前扫描,通过图像引导放射治疗技术对25例患者进行误差纠正,调整后行调强放疗。患者在进行放疗前,用锥形柬CT对射野的偏差进行校正,其偏差利用锥形束CT图像与计划螺旋CT图像进行手动匹配,在X、Y、Z三个方向上进行调整。根据误差调整治疗床位置后治疗。对急性放射性反应采用RTOG5级评价标准进行评价：急性放射性皮肤反应、急性放射性肺损伤及急性放射性心脏损伤。结果：25例乳腺癌患者治疗前经锥形束CT扫描采集的图像与计划参考图像比较在X、Y、Z方向上平均误差分别为0．429±1．683mm、0．431±1．728mm、0．583±2．041mm：摆位误差纠正后,误差值分别为：0．068±0．429、0．019±0．438、0．158±0．697,调整后摆位误差控制在1mm之内进行治疗。放疗后2周急性皮肤反应为0级23例、1级2例;4周为0级21例、1级4例。无急性放射性肺损伤及心脏损伤的病例出现。结论：目前调强放疗是乳腺癌临床放射治疗的重要手段,图像引导放射治疗的应用能够使放疗精度显著提高。

Mass spectrometry and illicit drug testing: analytical challenges of the anti-doping laboratories

The individualization of radiotherapy treatment would be beneficial for cancer patients; however, there are no predictive biomarkers of radiotherapy resistance in routine clinical use. This article describes the body of work in this field where comparative proteomics methods have been used for the discovery of putative biomarkers associated with radiotherapy resistance. A large number of differentially expressed proteins have been reported, mostly from the study of novel radiotherapy-resistant cell lines. Here, we have assessed these putative biomarkers through the discovery, confirmation and validation phases of the biomarker pipeline, and inform the reader on the current status of proteomics-based findings. Suggested avenues for future work are discussed.     

Stereotactic body radiotherapy for superior vena cava syndrome

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is characterized by a spectrum of clinical findings that result from the occlusion of the superior vena cava (SVC), usually caused by extracaval compression of the SVC by either a bronchogenic tumor or an enlarged mediastinal lymph node. Most efforts at treatment for SVCS are palliative, and long-term survival for malignancy-related SVCS is very low. Therefore, radiotherapy treatment is usually delivered with palliative intent utilizing hypofractionated regimens. The use of high dose per fraction may result in more rapid and more durable responses to treatment. Similarly, the high dose per fraction utilized in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been proven highly efficacious in treating early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here we report the first reported case of a patient with SVCS from NSCLC successfully treated with SBRT to alleviate SVCS.

Tridimensional dose evaluation of the respiratory motion influence on breast radiotherapy treatments using conformal radiotherapy,forward IMRT,and inverse IMRT planning techniques

PurposeTo evaluate the respiratory motion influence on the tridimensional (3D) dose delivery to breast-shaped phantoms using conformal radiotherapy (3D-RT), Field-in Field (FiF), and IMRT planning techniques.MethodsThis study used breast-shaped phantoms filled with MAGIC-f gel dosimeter to simulate the breast, and an oscillation platform to simulate the respiratory motion. The platform allowed motion in the anterior-posterior direction with oscillation amplitudes of 0.34 cm, 0.88 cm, and 1.22 cm. CT images of the static phantom were used for the 3D-RT, FiF, and IMRT treatment planning. Five phantoms were prepared and irradiated for each planning technique evaluated. Phantom 1 was irradiated static, phantoms 2–4 were irradiated moving with the three different motion amplitudes, and phantom 5 was used as a reference. The 3D dose distributions were obtained by relaxometry of magnetic resonance imaging, and the respiratory motion influence in the doses distribution was accessed by gamma evaluations (3%/3mm/15% threshold) comparing the measurements of the phantoms irradiated under movement with the static ones.ResultsThe mean gamma approvals for three oscillatory amplitudes were 96.44%, 93.23%, and 91.65%; 98.42%, 95.66%, and 94.31%; and 94.49%, 93.51%, and 86.62% respectively for 3D-RT, FiF and IMRT treatments. A gamma results profile per slice along the phantom showed that for FiF and IMRT irradiations, most of the failures occurred in the central region of the phantom.ConclusionsBy increasing the respiratory motion movement, the dose distribution variations for the three planning techniques were more pronounced, being the FiF technique variations the smallest one.     

Dosimetric accuracy of dual isocenter irradiation in low magnetic field resonance guided radiotherapy system for extended abdominal tumours

PurposeDue to limited field size of Magnetic Resonance Linear Accelerators (MR-Linac), some treatments could require a dual-isocenter planning approach to achieve a complete target coverage and thus exploit the benefits of the online adaptation. This study evaluates the dosimetric accuracy of the dual-isocenter intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) delivery technique for MR-Linac.Material and MethodsDual-isocenter multi leaf collimator (MLC) and couch accuracy tests have been performed to evaluate the delivery accuracy of the system. A mono-isocenter plan delivered in clinical practice has then been retrospectively re-planned with dual-isocenter technique. The dual-isocenter plan has been re-calculated and delivered on a 3-dimensional (3D) ArcCHECK phantom and 2-dimensional (2D) films to assess its dosimetric accuracy in terms of gamma analysis. Clinical and planning target volume (CTV and PTV respectively) coverage robustness was then investigated after the introduction of ± 2 mm and ± 5 mm positioning errors by shifting the couch.ResultsMLC and couch accuracy tests confirmed the system accuracy in delivering a dual-isocenter irradiation.2D/3D gamma analysis results occurred always to be above 95% if considered a gamma criteria 1%/2 mm and 1%/1 mm respectively for the 2D and 3D analysis.The mean variations for CTV D98% and PTV V95% were 0.2% and 1.1% respectively when positioning error was introduced separately in each direction, while the maximum observed variations were 0.9% (CTV) and 3.7% (PTV).ConclusionThe dosimetric accuracy of dual-isocenter irradiation has been verified for MR-Linac, achieving accurate and robust treatment strategy and improving dose conformality also in presence of targets whose extension exceeds the nominal maximum field size.
