Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy, Conventional Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy and Three-Dimensional Conformal Techniques for Upper Thoracic Esophageal Cancer: A Planning Comparison Study
摘要
Abstract
[Objective] A planning study was performed to compare volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), static intensity-modulated radiotherapy (sIMRT), and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) for upper thoracic esophageal cancer. [Methods] Seven patients with loco-regionally advanced upper thoracic esophageal cancer were included. Based on the identical CT and planning target volume (PTV), three plans (3DCRT, sIMRT with seven fields, VMAT with a single arc) were generated. Dose prescription was set to 60Gy in 30 fractions. Dose volume histograms, MU and delivery time were evaluated to assess plan quality. [Results] In comparison to 3DCRT, both VMAT and IMRT provided a systematic improvement in PTV coverage. For normal tissues, equivalent sparing of lung and heart were achieved with three plans. However, IMRT and VMAT showed a superior sparing compared with 3DCRT for spinal cord. The MU/fraction was as follows; 537 ± 92 for 3DCRT, 601 ± 122 for IMRT, and 682 ± 139 for VMAT. Effective treatment time for 3DCRT, IMRT and VMAT were (3.9 ± 0.3) min, (6.0 ± 0.7) min and (4.7 ± 0.7)min, respectively (P< 0.05). [Conclusions] Compared with 3DCRT, IMRT and VMAT showed better dosimetric quality and superior spinal cord sparing. However, VMAT improved delivery efficiency significantly than IMRT.关键词
