Proton therapy reduces the effective dose to immune cells in breast cancer patients.
Background: The effective dose to circulating immune cells (EDIC) is associated with survival in lung and esophageal cancer patients. This study aimed to evaluate the benefit of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for EDIC reduction as compared to volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in patients with locally advanced breast cancer (BC).
Materials and methods: Ten BC patients treated with locoregional VMAT after breast-conserving surgery were included. Mean dose to the heart (MHD), lungs (MLD), and liver (MlD), as well as the integral dose to the body (ITD), were retrieved, and we calculated EDIC as 0.12 × MLD + 0.08 × MHD + 0.15 × 0.85 × √(n/45) × MlD + (0.45 + 0.35 × 0.85 × √(n/45)) × ITD/(62 × 103), where n is the number of fractions. EDIC was compared between VMAT and IMPT plans.
Results: Median EDIC was reduced from 3.37 Gy (range: 2.53-5.99) with VMAT to 2.13 Gy (1.31-3.77) with IMPT (p < 0.01). For left-sided BC patients, EDIC was reduced from 3.15 Gy (2.53-3.78) with VMAT to 1.65 Gy (1.31-3.77) with IMPT (p < 0.01). For right-sided BC patients, EDIC was reduced from 5.60 Gy (5.06-5.99) with VMAT to 3.38 Gy (3.10-3.77) with IMPT (p < 0.01). Right-sided BC patients had a higher EDIC irrespective of the technique. Integral dose reduction was the main driver of EDIC reduction with IMPT and was associated with lung sparing for left-sided BC patients or liver sparing for right-sided BC patients.
Conclusion: IMPT significantly reduced EDIC in BC patients undergoing locoregional adjuvant radiotherapy. Integral total dose reduction, associated with improved lung sparing in left-sided BC patients or liver sparing in right-sided BC patients, mainly drove EDIC reduction with IMPT. The emergence of dynamic models taking into account the circulatory kinetics of immune cells may improve the accuracy of the estimate of the dose received by the immune system compared to calculation of the EDIC, which is based solely on static dosimetric data.
期刊介绍:
Strahlentherapie und Onkologie, published monthly, is a scientific journal that covers all aspects of oncology with focus on radiooncology, radiation biology and radiation physics. The articles are not only of interest to radiooncologists but to all physicians interested in oncology, to radiation biologists and radiation physicists. The journal publishes original articles, review articles and case studies that are peer-reviewed. It includes scientific short communications as well as a literature review with annotated articles that inform the reader on new developments in the various disciplines concerned and hence allow for a sound overview on the latest results in radiooncology research.
Founded in 1912, Strahlentherapie und Onkologie is the oldest oncological journal in the world. Today, contributions are published in English and German. All articles have English summaries and legends. The journal is the official publication of several scientific radiooncological societies and publishes the relevant communications of these societies.
