Evaluation of doses to pelvic lymph node regions from image-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for carcinoma of the uterine cervix.
Purpose: Interstitial brachytherapy (ISBT) is indicated for intact cervical carcinoma (IN-CC) if intracavitary brachytherapy (ICRT) is not feasible and also in vault carcinoma (VA-C). We aimed to evaluate the doses to pelvic lymph node regions in IN-CC and VA-C treated with ISBT.
Material and methods: Ten patients (6 IN-CC, 4 VA-C) were chosen for this dosimetric study. IN-CC had a central tandem in addition to the needles. External iliac (EI-N), internal iliac (II-N), obturator (OB-N) and sacral (SA-N) groups of lymph nodes were delineated. A dose of 10 grays (Gy) and 8 Gy each × 2 fractions was prescribed to the target in IN-CC and VA-C respectively. Doses received by 100%, 90% and 50% volume (D100, D90, D50) and D2cc, D1cc, D0.1cc were evaluated. Doses to lymph nodal groups in IN-CC vs. VA-C were compared using Student's t-test.
Results: For 20 implants, the median number of needles was 18 (range, 16-20). Mean D90 and D2cc of the combined bilateral OB-N, II-N, EI-N and SA-N groups were 33.62 ±3.46% and 102.94 ±10.71%, 6.98 ±0.65% and 39.69 ±3.64%, 5.1 ±0.51% and 15.4 ±0.8%, 7.76 ±0.95% and 15.36 ±1.09% of the prescribed doses respectively. Patients with a central tandem (IN-CC) received significantly higher doses to external, internal iliac and sacral group of lymph nodes (p < 0.001) as compared to VA-C.
Conclusions: In patients with cervical carcinoma treated with ISBT, pelvic lymph node groups received significant doses. The dose contribution to pelvic lymph nodes is higher in patients with intact cervical cancer where a central tandem is used as compared to post-operative patients.
期刊介绍：
The “Journal of Contemporary Brachytherapy” is an international and multidisciplinary journal that will publish papers of original research as well as reviews of articles. Main subjects of the journal include: clinical brachytherapy, combined modality treatment, advances in radiobiology, hyperthermia and tumour biology, as well as physical aspects relevant to brachytherapy, particularly in the field of imaging, dosimetry and radiation therapy planning. Original contributions will include experimental studies of combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization and normal tissue protection, molecular radiation biology, and clinical investigations of cancer treatment in brachytherapy. Another field of interest will be the educational part of the journal.
