This study aimed to evaluate the impact of variations in CT-RED calibration curves due to different tube voltages (kVp) on breast cancer treatment plans as a function of calculation algorithm. CT-RED calibration curves were generated using a CIRS M062 phantom scanned with a 16-slice HITACHI Supria CT scanner at 80, 100, 120, and 140 kVp. These curves were applied to treatment plans for left breast cancer using the Collapsed Cone (CC) and X-ray Voxel-based Monte Carlo (XVMC++) algorithms in MONACO TPS (v6.6.2). Dose-volume histograms and dose statistics were analyzed to assess dose metrics for planned target volumes (PTV) and organs at risk (OAR). Monte Carlo-based dose calculations showed significant sensitivity to kVp settings, while CC results exhibited clinically negligible effects, underscoring that the impact of kVp on dose calculation depends on the algorithm used. Thus, to ensure accurate dose calculations, it is important to adjust calibration curves for each kVp setting when using Monte Carlo algorithms.

In the present study, an internal cohort analysis was conducted to investigate whether radon progeny is also associated with increased mortality from other cancers. Consequently, associations between cumulative radon progeny and cancer mortality (excluding lung cancer) were evaluated in a cohort of 2,110 miners. Mortality was ascertained from 1950 to 2016. Individual-level exposure to radon progeny in working level months (WLM) was determined for each miner during their employment. For cancers with at least ten deaths, Poisson regression was used to estimate excess relative risks (ERRs). Cancer site-specific relative risks were derived for mortality from common cancers within the cohort, specifically: colorectal, prostate, stomach and all cancers (excluding lung cancer). Relative risks were adjusted for age, calendar period, and the number of cigarettes smoked daily determined from smoking surveys. In total, 260 cancer deaths, excluding lung cancer, were identified during follow-up. The relative risk of death from these cancers was 1.26 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.92, 1.75) among underground miners with a cumulative exposure of ≥ 50 WLM when compared to those with < 1 WLM. The ERR per 100 WLM for cancer mortality (excluding lung cancer) was 0.02 (95% CI=-0.01 to 0.05). No statistically significant increased risks with increasing exposure were found for bladder, colorectal, pancreatic, and stomach cancer. Overall, these findings provide modest evidence that radon progeny contributes to increased risks of cancer mortality (excluding lung cancer) among fluorspar miners. However, the precision of the estimates is limited by the small size of the cohort, which restricts the ability to draw firm conclusions regarding specific cancer sites.

The GC-5000 can be employed as a facility for sample irradiation and dosimeter calibration purposes because of its dose distribution which is more homogeneous than that of large-scale gamma irradiators. However, optimizing the calibration service requires an in-depth understanding of the dose mapping within the sample chamber. This study aimed to demonstrate the applicability of a simulation using the Monte Carlo (MC) Proton Heavy-Ion Transport Code System (PHITS) software for determining the dose distribution within the GC-5000 irradiator at the Institute of Nuclear and Chemistry Technology (INCT), Poland, to validate the results in experiments using alanine dosimetry. Five measurement points were defined, with each point carrying four alanine dosimeters simultaneously irradiated in an in-house phantom manufactured from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The in-house phantom and alanine dosimeters were additionally simulated with PHITS. The GC-5000 chamber was modeled consistently with the original GC-5000 design, which included the configuration of 44 Co-60 pencil sources and their activities. The relative differences between simulation and experiment for the five-point measurements were 0.7 % and 7.0 % for the minimum and maximum, respectively. The position with the best agreement was at the centre of the in-house PMMA phantom. It was found that the results of the MC simulation and the experimental dose mapping agreed. It is concluded that both methods can be used to precisely determine the dose rate at defined positions within the GC-5000. It is concluded that the methodology developed in this study, i.e., the integration of MC modeling and alanine dosimetry, provides a validated and practical approach for dose mapping and may serve as a reference for similar compact irradiators used in radiation processing.

These correction factors include backscatter factor, depth dose factor and phantom scatter, for photon beams with normal incidence on the phantom. The calculated values of the backscatter and depth dose factors are in good agreement with published values for a PMMA phantom. The values of backscatter factor calculated in solid phantoms such as A150, Solid Water, Plastic Water, Virtual Water and WE210 were similar to those calculated in tissue phantom.

At the same time internal radiotherapy protects neighboring organs. The aim of the present study was to dosimetrically compare three external beam radiotherapy techniques each combined with internal radiotherapy to evaluate the combination that offers the best organ protection. Treatment plans of 20 cervical cancer patients were created for external (including three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)) as well as brachytherapy. The prescribed dose was 50 Gy in 25 fractions for external and 21 Gy in three fractions for internal radiotherapy. The following organs at risk (OARs) were evaluated: bladder, rectum, sigmoid and bowel bag. The study analyzed the results of different treatment combinations in terms of dosimetric values for various parameters. The D<sub>90</sub> for the clinical target volume was around 120 Gy, with the highest value seen in 3D-CRT + BT (brachytherapy) combination at 120.59 Gy. For the bladder, the D<sub>2cc</sub> remained below the recommended threshold of 90 Gy, with the lowest value obtained for the BT + IMRT combination at 79.2 Gy. For the rectum, both D<sub>2cc</sub> and D<sub>1cc</sub> remained below the recommended threshold of 75 Gy for both parameters. All techniques fell below the recommended dose of 75 Gy for the sigmoid. For the intestine, there were statistically significant differences between BT + IMRT and BT + 3D-CRT. The VMAT technique showed superiority over IMRT in tumour volume coverage and several organ-at-risk parameters. Generally, intensity-modulated techniques showed dosimetric advantage over the traditional 3D technique in cervical cancer. In addition to providing better compliance and homogeneity, they provided superior protection for organs at risk, especially for bowel bag. It is concluded that the BT + IMRT technique provided the best protection for organs at risk based on the lowest OAR dosimetric values, especially for the intestine.</p>","PeriodicalId":21002,"journal":{"name":"Radiation and Environmental Biophysics","volume":" ","pages":"291-302"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12049278/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143537777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
