Abstract
Radiation therapy is the standard treatment for localized gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. The ETHOS system (Varian Medical System) has enabled us to perform cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided online adaptive radiation therapy (oART). This study presents a retrospective dosimetric analysis for interfractional and intrafractional change and treatment time in oART for gastric MALT lymphoma. We included 3 male patients with gastric MALT lymphoma who underwent exhalation breath-hold fasting oART using the SpiroDynr'X system. Treatment details and plans (3 reference [REF] plans, 51 scheduled [SCH] plans, and adapted [ADP] plans) were retrospectively analyzed. Doses to the clinical target volume in planning CT (CTV_REF), CTV1, and CTV2 (representing the stomach in planning and preirradiation CBCT, respectively) and planning target volume (PTV) in the planning CBCT were estimated. D2%, D98%, D50%, and Dmean for these volumes, along with organ-at-risk doses, were examined across the 3 plans. The PTV dose coverage of CTV2 on preirradiation CBCT was calculated. CBCT-guided oART was completed within the scheduled period, using the ADP plans instead of the SCH plans on each treatment day in all cases. The average treatment time was approximately 45 minutes. CTV1 and CTV2 exhibited intrafractional and interfractional variations, fluctuating above and below CTV_REF. Some ADP plans resulted in incomplete PTV coverage of CTV2, but the unincluded volume was <1% of CTV2. D50%, D98%, and Dmean of CTV1, CTV2, and PTV were significantly improved in the ADP plans than in the SCH plans. Moreover, the Dmean to the liver and kidneys was reduced in the ADP plans. CBCT-guided oART in patients with gastric MALT lymphoma demonstrated that ADP plans improved CTV1, CTV2, and PTV doses and reduced the mean bilateral kidney and liver doses, suggesting that it may offer enhanced treatment precision for gastric MALT lymphoma.
期刊介绍：
The overarching mission of Practical Radiation Oncology is to improve the quality of radiation oncology practice. PRO''s purpose is to document the state of current practice, providing background for those in training and continuing education for practitioners, through discussion and illustration of new techniques, evaluation of current practices, and publication of case reports. PRO strives to provide its readers content that emphasizes knowledge "with a purpose." The content of PRO includes:
Original articles focusing on patient safety, quality measurement, or quality improvement initiatives
Original articles focusing on imaging, contouring, target delineation, simulation, treatment planning, immobilization, organ motion, and other practical issues
ASTRO guidelines, position papers, and consensus statements
Essays that highlight enriching personal experiences in caring for cancer patients and their families.
