摘要
目的:比较容积旋转调强放疗(VMAT)和适形调强放疗(IMRT)技术在非小细胞肺癌靶区和危及器官(OAR)的剂量学差异。方法:选取首程接受放射治疗的20例非小细胞肺癌患者,分别设计5野IMRT(5F-IMRT)、7野IMRT(7FIMRT)、双弧VMAT(D-VMAT)和部分弧VMAT(P-VMAT)计划,比较靶区剂量分布、OAR剂量体积参数。结果:4种计划中计划靶区的D_(mean)比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);两种VMAT计划中计划靶区的均匀性指数和适形度指数均优于两种IMRT(P<0.05);4种计划中D-VMAT肺平均剂量高于其余3种计划(P<0.05);P-VMAT的双肺V_5、V_(10)稍好于DVMAT(P<0.05),但两种VMAT计划均高于两种IMRT计划(P<0.05);4种计划中P-VMAT的双肺V_(20)最优,且4种计划相互间比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);D-VMAT与P-VMAT双肺的V_(30)相当(P>0.05),但均优于两种IMRT计划(P<0.05);4种计划双肺V_(40)和心脏的V_(30)、V_(40)比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。P-VMAT计划的脊髓D_(max)最低,与其余计划相比差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:非小细胞肺癌靶区剂量分布D-VMAT和P-VMAT好于IMRT计划。P-VMAT在OAR的保护方面体现的优势更多。综合考虑,非小细胞肺癌的放疗优先推荐P-VMAT,但对于重点考虑肺低剂量区,而次要考虑靶区剂量分布的病例推荐7F-IMRT。
Objective To compare the dosimetric differences in target areas and organs-at-risk (OAR) between volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Four different kinds of plans, namely 5-field IMRT (5F-IMRT), 7-field IMRT (7F-IMRT), double-arc VMAT (D-VMAT) and partial-arc VMAT (P-VMAT), were designed for 20 NSCLC patients receiving radiotherapy for the first course. The dose distribution in target areas and OAR dose-volume parameters were compared. Results No significant differences were found in the Dmean of planning target areas among the 4 plans (P〉0.05). The homogeneity index and conformal index of two VMAT plans were better than those of two IMRT plans (P〈0.05). Compared with the other 3 plans, D-VMAT plans had the highest mean lung dose (P〈0.05). The V5 and V10 of lungs in P-VMAT plan were slightly better than those in D-VMAT plan (P〈0.05), and both of them were higher than those in two IMRT plans (P〈0.05). The V20 of lungs in P-VMAT was the optimal among the 4 plans, and the differences between the 4 plans were statistically significant (P〈0.05). D-VMAT and P-VMAT plans had similar V30 of lungs (P〉0.05), superior to two IMRT plans (P〈0.05). The comparison of the V30 of lungs and the V30, V40 of heart between the 4 plans didn’t showed any statistical differences (P〉0.05). The Dmax of spinal cord in P-VMAT was the lowest among the 4 plans, and the differences were statistically significant as compared with other plans (P〈0.05). Conclusion The target dose distributions in D-VMAT and P-VMAT plans for NSCLC are better than those in IMRT plans, moreover, P-VMAT shows more advantages in OAR sparing. Therefore, P-VMAT is recommended preferentially in radiotherapy for NSCLC, but 7F-IMRT is recommended for cases in which the low dose areas of lung is the main focus, while the target dose distribution is secondarily considered.
