宫颈癌术后三维适形放疗和共面等分设野调强放疗计划的对比分析

摘要

目的 探讨宫颈癌术后三维适形放射治疗(3D-CRT)和共面等分设野调强放射治疗(IMRT)计划靶区及其周围危及器官受照剂量的差异.方法 随机选择10例宫颈癌术后患者,进行CT扫描、靶区和危及器官的勾画,处方剂量50 Gy.分别进行3D-CRT和共面等分设野IMRT计划设计,计算靶区剂量均匀度指数(HI)、适形度指数(CI)、最大受照剂量、最小受照剂量、平均受照剂量和危及器官照射体积等并对结果进行比较分析.结果 5F-IMRT、7F-IMRT和9F-IMRT在靶区适形度方面明显优于3D-CRT;在危及器官(膀胱V30 、V40 、V50,小肠V50和直肠V30、V40、V50)保护方面,5F-IMRT、7F-IMRT和9F-IMRT明显优于3D-CRT,P＜0.05.而各IMRT计划之间差异无统计学意义,P＞0.05.结论 宫颈癌术后辅助放疗共面等分IMRT计划无论在靶区适形度还是正常组织保护方面均优于3D-CRT,同时也证实7野或9野IMRT未必较5野获益更多.5野与7、9野的IMRT相比、在治疗时间及费用方面有独特的优势,值得在临床上推广.%Objective To compare the difference of the dose distribution in clinical target volume and organ at risk (OAR) between coplanar decile field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and conventional three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for postoperative radiotherapy of cervical cancer. Methods Ten postoperative patients with cervical cancer were selected randomly to undergo CT scan and planning target volume (PTV) and OAR contouring. 3D-CRT and coplanar decile IMRT planning was performed for each patient with a prescribed dose of 50 Gy. The homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI), maximum dose, minimum dose, mean dose of PTV, and irradiated volume of OARs were calculated and the results were compared. Results 5-field IMRT, 7-field IMRT and 9-field IMRT plans had a significant better conformity index (CI) of PTV compared with 3D-CRT (P<0.05). Compared with 3D-CRT plans, V30, V40, and V50 of the bladder, V50 of the small bowel, and V30, V40, and V50 of the rectum in the coplanar decile IMRT plans were all significantly reduced (P<0.05) but showed no significant differences among the IMRT plans (P>0.05). Conclusion Coplanar decile IMRT plans is superior to 3D-CRT plan in terms of the conformity index (CI) of the PTV and sparing the bladder, rectum and small bowel. Seven-field and 9-field IMRT do not warrant more benefits than 5-field IMRT, and the latter can significantly reduce the treatment time and costs.
