摘要
目的:本研究通过引入一种新的、强大的强度调节质子治疗(IMPT)计划,并评估其相对于螺旋断层治疗(HT)的剂量学和放射生物学结果,解决了在多发性脑膜瘤(MM)放射治疗中保留危险神经器官(OARs)的挑战。方法使用24例MM患者的sct和MRI数据集生成相互竞争的IMPT和HT计划。IMPT采用5个静态场的定点分配策略,考虑2-3 mm的设置和2%的范围不确定性,对CTV-sum进行了稳健优化,而HT则对PTV-sum进行了优化。中位处方剂量为50.2 GyRBE,分为28个馏分。结果每例患者分离ctv数为2 ~ 9个,靶体积分别为27.69 ~ 1153.61 cc (CTV-sum)和62.5 ~ 1415.25 cc (PTV-sum)。HT和IMPT最坏情况下CTV-sum的D95%的平均±SD剂量差(-0.58±0.57 GyRBE, p = 0.03)在临床上是可以接受的。Dmean与PTV-sum差异无统计学意义(p = 0.06),但IMPT组D2%明显高于HT组(p = 0.006)。IMPT显著降低了大多数桨的Dmax和Dmean (p <;0.05),正常脑组织整体剂量降低(p <;0.0001),比高温高1.37-6.97倍。NTCP显著降低(p <;晶状体、眼睛、脑干、视神经和耳蜗的差异均为0.05)。结论:与HT相比,simpt确保了强大的目标覆盖,同时显著降低了几种桨的Dmax, Dmean和NTCP。其对正常脑组织的整体剂量降低可能有利于再照射和降低第二次癌症风险。
Effectiveness of Intensity Modulate Proton Therapy in Managing Complex Multiple Meningiomas: A Dosimetric and Radiobiological Comparative Study with Helical Tomotherapy on Neurological Risk
Purpose
This study addresses the challenges of sparing neurological organs at risk (OARs) in radiation therapy for multiple meningiomas (MM) by introducing a novel, robust intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plan and assessing its dosimetric and radiobiological outcomes relative to helical tomotherapy (HT).
Methods
CT and MRI datasets from 24 MM patients were used to generate competing IMPT and HT plans. IMPT employed a spot-assignment strategy with five static fields and was robustly optimized for CTV-sum, considering 2–3 mm setup and 2% range uncertainty, while HT was optimized on PTV-sum. The median prescribed dose was 50.2 GyRBE in 28 fractions.
Results
The number of isolated CTVs per patient ranged from 2 to 9, with total target volumes of 27.69–1153.61 cc (CTV-sum) and 62.5–1415.25 cc (PTV-sum). The mean±SD dose difference in D95% between PTV-sum in HT and CTV-sum in the IMPT worst-case scenario (-0.58 ± 0.57 GyRBE, p = 0.03) was clinically acceptable. While Dmean to PTV-sum showed no significant difference (p = 0.06), D2% was significantly higher in IMPT (p = 0.006) than in HT. IMPT significantly reduced both Dmax and Dmean for most OARs (p < 0.05) and lowered integral dose to normal brain tissue (p < 0.0001) by a factor of 1.37–6.97 compared to HT. Significant NTCP reductions (p < 0.05) were observed for the lenses, eyes, brainstem, optic nerves, and cochlea.
Conclusions
IMPT ensures robust target coverage while significantly lowering Dmax, Dmean, and NTCP for several OARs compared to HT. Its reduced integral dose to normal brain tissue may benefit re-irradiation and lower second cancer risk.
