摘要
目的:报告一项前瞻性临床试验的主要结果和剂量学结果,以及在妇科近距离治疗中使用迭代术中磁共振成像(iMRI)的方案。方法:局部晚期宫颈癌或阴道癌(FIGO分期分别为IB2 -IVA期和II-IVA期)接受脉冲剂量率(PDR)近距离放疗的患者在近距离治疗植入物放置期间使用迭代3T iMRI纳入前瞻性临床试验(NCT03634267)。在3T临床MRI扫描仪的iMRI引导下放置涂抹器和可选的间质针。影像学、剂量学和临床结果(局部对照(LC)、无复发生存期(RFS)、总生存期(OS))以及急性和长期毒性进行前瞻性评估,并通过图表复习确认。为了探讨剂量学增益,比较了imri指导与标准护理指导的EQD2估计,以及imri指导下优化的3例患者剂量变化分析。结果:14例患者接受了imri引导下的近距离治疗。70%的患者表现为FIGO III期或更高。中位随访时间为44个月。患者2年的中位LC、RFS和OS率分别为83.3%、76%和84.6%。急性毒性很小,有1例3级恶心。未观察到3级或以上的长期毒性。手术室时间中位数为283分钟(范围174-380分钟)。在探索性分析中,iMRI引导下的植入物放置显示,与US和CT引导下的植入相比,相同患者的HR-CTV D90剂量更高(平均差值为+784.7 cGy, p = NS)。讨论:imri指导妇科近距离治疗是安全的,具有最小的高级别毒性和良好的临床结果。未来的研究将优化资源利用、图像采集效率和识别预测成像特征。
Iterative intraoperative 3T MRI (iMRI)-guided brachytherapy: A prospective study on enhancing implantation precision and dosimetric gains in advanced gynecologic cancers.
Purpose: To report on primary outcomes and dosimetric results of a prospective clinical trial and protocol for use of iterative intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) in gynecologic brachytherapy.
Methods: Patients with locally advanced cervical or vaginal cancer (FIGO stages IB2 - IVA, and stage II-IVA, respectively) undergoing pulsed dose rate (PDR) brachytherapy were enrolled in a prospective clinical trial (NCT03634267) using iterative 3T iMRI during brachytherapy implant placement. Applicator and optional interstitial needles were placed under iMRI guidance in a 3T clinical MRI scanner. Imaging, dosimetry and clinical outcomes (local control (LC), recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS)), and acute and long-term toxicity were evaluated prospectively and confirmed by chart review. To explore dosimetric gains, an EQD2 estimate comparing iMRI-guidance versus standard of care guidance, as well as a 3-patient analysis of dose changes with iMRI-guided optimization was included.
Results: Fourteen patients underwent iMRI-guided brachytherapy. Seventy percent (70%) of patients presented with FIGO stage III disease or higher. Median follow-up was 44 months. . Patients had 2-year median LC, RFS, and OS rates of 83.3%, 76%, and 84.6%, respectively. Acute toxicities were minimal with one (1) case of grade 3 nausea. No grade 3 or higher long-term toxicities were observed. Median operating room (OR) time was 283 minutes (range 174-380 mins). On exploratory analysis, implant placement performed with iMRI guidance demonstrated higher HR-CTV D90 doses (mean difference of +784.7 cGy, p = NS) were achieved compared to US and CT guided implantation in the same patients.
Discussion: iMRI-guidance for gynecologic brachytherapy is safe, associated with minimal high-grade toxicity and excellent clinical outcomes. Future studies to optimize resource use, image acquisition efficiency, and identifying predictive imaging features are warranted.
