Dosimetric comparison of IMRT vs. 3D conformal radiotherapy

Radiotherapy and Oncology 89 (2008) 287–291 IMRT in esophageal cancerDosimetric comparison of IMRT vs. 3D conformal radiotherapy in the treatment of cancer of the cervical esophagusq Louis Fenkella, Inna Kaminskyc, Stephen Breenb, Sophie Huangc, Monique Van Prooijenb, Jolie Ringasha,* aDepartment of Radiation Oncology, and bDepartment of Radiation Physics, Princess Margaret Hospital and University of Toronto, ON, Canada, cRadiation Medicine Programme, Princess Margaret Hospital, ON, CanadaAbstract Background and Purpose: Radiotherapy planning for cervical esophageal cancer is challenging. We compared IMRT and 3D conformal radiotherapy (CRT) with respect to conformality of target coverage and normal tissue sparing. Materials and methods: We selected five patients with cervical esophagus cancer, who represented the heterogeneity of clinical cases, treated to radical dose and planned with Pinnacle v6.2. Target doses for CRT plans were 50, 60, and 70 Gy (single-phase IMRT 56, 63, and 70). We compared PTV coverage by the 95% isodose (PTV95), conformality ratio (CR), conformation number (CN), and maximum or mean doses (Dmax, Dmean) to normal structures. Results: Median PTV95 for IMRT plans for PTV70, PTV63, and PTV56 were 97%, 99%, and 98% (CRT 91%, 98%, and 85%). IMRT plans demonstrated lower Dmax to the spinal cord and brainstem (42 and 36 Gy) compared to CRT (46 and 39 Gy). Median left parotid Dmean was 35 Gy (IMRT) vs. 53 Gy (CRT). Median right parotid Dmean was 35 Gy (IMRT) vs. 36 Gy (CRT). The median CR50/56 Gy was 1.4 (CRT) vs. 1.2 (IMRT), CR70 Gy 1.7 (CRT) vs. 1.1 (IMRT). CN50/56 and CN70 values were 0.80 and 0.85 (IMRT) vs. 0.56 and 0.5 (CRT). Conclusions: IMRT provides superior target volume coverage and conformality, with decreased dose to normal structures.c 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
