子宫颈癌术后盆腔转移三维适形与调强放疗剂量学对比研究

目的 比较三维适形放疗(3DCRT)和调强放疗(IMRT)在子宫颈癌术后盆腔转移病灶靶区(PTY)剂量覆盖和危及器官(OAR)保护方面的差异,探讨子宫颈癌术后盆腔转移病灶的最佳治疗方案.方法 选择10例子宫颈癌根治术后盆腔转移患者,行CT模拟定位后将数据上传至Varian三维计划系统,勾画靶区,进行放疗计划设计后做下列研究:3DCRT计划与IMRT计划对计划靶区PTV的影响及比较;3DCRT计划与IMRT计划中危及器官受最比较分析.结果 采用95%可信区间,CTV至PTV的外放边界定为1 cm.3DCRT计划中3、4、5和6个射野下PTV适形指数分别为0.46、0.67、0.68、0.68,4个以上射野数日的增加不再显著改善靶区分布和减少正常组织受照射体积百分比.IMRT计划中5、7、9、11和13个射野下PTV适形指数分别为0.75、0.83、0.84、0.85、0.85,9个以上射野数目增加不再显著改善靶区分布和减少正常组织受照体积百分比.比较OAR最高照射剂量,IMRT计划中小肠脊髓的最高照射剂量低于3DCRT,直肠膀胱及股骨头的最大剂量差异无统计学意义.结论 子宫颈癌术后盆腔转移放疗者3DCRT以4个射野数计划为优,IMRT以9个射野数计划为优.高剂量范围内IMRT较3DCRT对脊髓及小肠的保护作用明显,IMRT较3DCRT减少了高剂量区直肠、膀胱的受照体积,从而有望减少OAR放射治疗并发症的发生概率.

Abstract：

Objective To compare the differences of target-volume(PTV) coverage and organ at risk (OAR) protection between three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) for patients with pelvis metastasis of cervical cancer underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. To explore the optimal treatment methods for pelvis metastasis of cervical cancer.Methods 10 patients with pelvis metastasis of cervical cancer underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were selected for this study. The images scanned by CT were transferred to treatment planning system to generate 3DCRT and IMRT plans. The impacts of 3DCRT on PTV were compared with those of IMRT. Isodose line and dose volume histograms(DVH) were used to evaluate to the dose-distribution in PTV and OAR. Results For 95 % confidence interval, the margin from CTV to PTV was 1 cm. Conformal indexs (CIs) of PTV for 3, 4, 5 and 6 fields 3DCRT were 0.46, 0.67, 0.68 and 0.68, respectively. When beyond 4 fields, the advantage of adding fields was not significant. CIs of PTV for 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 fields IMRT were 0.75, 0.83 0.84, 0.85 and 0.85, respectively. When beyond 9 fields, the advantage of adding fields was not significant. The maximum dose of the bowl and spine cord in IMRT plans were lower than that in the 3DCRT plans (P <0.05). Maximum dose of OAR had no significant differences (includingt the bone, recttum and bladder) between IMRT and 3DCRT plans. Conclusion For patients with pelvis metastasis of cervical cancer after radical surgery, 4 fields planning in 3DCRT and 9 fields planning in IMRT are feasible. At high dose levels, the IMRT plans can more significantly protect the bowl and spine cord and decrease the radiation volume of colorectal and urinary bladder at risk than 3DCRT, so IMRT may potentially diminish probability of the normal tissue complications.
