中央型肺癌容积旋转调强放疗计划中减少肺低剂量体积的研究

      Method of Reducing Low-Dose Lung Volume in VMAT on Central Lung Cancer Planning

      • 摘要:
        目的 研究中央型肺癌容积旋转调强放疗计划设计中,采用不同弧段以及不同形状剂量限制区,探讨有效降低肺V5V10和肺平均剂量(mean lung dose, MLD)的方法。
        方法 对入组病例分别设计5组计划:A组为全弧射野,B组为部分弧射野,C、D、E组为全弧射野,分别增加竖长条状、半环状和三角状剂量限制区,比较各组靶区的剂量学相似性及全肺V5V10V20和MLD的剂量学差异。
        结果  B、C、D、E组与A组相比,靶区均匀性指数和适形度指数均降低,全肺V5V10明显降低。C、D、E组与A组相比,MLD降低。
        结论 采用全弧射野同时增加剂量限制区,可有效降低肺V5V10和MLD。

         

        Abstract:
        Objective To study effective methods for reducing lung V5, V10, and mean lung dose (MLD) in the design of volumetric modulated arc therapy for central lung cancer by using different arc configurations and dose-limiting blocks designs.
        Methods  Five groups of plans were designed for the enrolled patients. Group A used a full-arc field. Group B used a partial-arc field. Groups C, D, and E used full-arc fields with vertical-length, semi-ring, and triangular dose-limiting blocks added respectively. The dosimetric similarities of target areas and the dosimetric differences in lung V5, V10, V20, and MLD among the groups were compared.
        Results  Compared with group A, groups B, C, D, and E had decreased homogeneity and conformity of the target area, but significantly lower V5 and V10 of the whole lung. The MLD of groups C, D, and E was lower than that of group A.
        Conclusion  Using a full-arc field combined with dose-limiting blocks can effectively reduce lung V5, V10, MLD, and monitor units (MU).
