Outcomes of Computed Tomography-Guided Image-Based Interstitial Brachytherapy for Cancer of the Cervix Using GEC-ESTRO Guidelines
No full textAnalysis of Late Radiation Proctitis Among Patients Treated for Cervical Cancer: A Comparative Study Between Linear Accelerator and Cobalt Teletherapy
No full textAbstractBackgroundConcerns have been raised over adequate target volume coverage with conventional 2-dimensional planning owing to wide variations in pelvic anatomy between individual patients. To improve tumor volume coverage, increasing numbers of patients are being treated with 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), resulting in increased treatment volume as opposed to conventional planning. This study compares the occurrence of late radiation proctitis among patients with carcinoma of the cervix treated with 3DCRT using a linear accelerator (LINAC) versus conventional therapy using a telecobalt unit.Patients and MethodsA total of 66 patients with carcinoma of the cervix treated with curative intent between August 2006 and August 2012, having a minimum of 6 months of posttreatment follow-up, were reviewed retrospectively. Whole-pelvis irradiation was administered in cobalt teletherapy using the box-field technique (33 patients) or using 3DCRT on a 6-MV LINAC (33 patients), followed by low-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy to a dose of 30 Gy.ResultsThe median ages of patients treated on cobalt teletherapy and LINAC were 50 and 52 years, respectively, and the median follow-up durations were 24 and 18 months, respectively. Seven patients (21%) developed radiation proctitis in the cobalt teletherapy arm, compared with 12 patients (36%) in the LINAC arm (P = .03; χ2 test).ConclusionThere is a significant increase in the incidence of late radiation proctitis in patients treated with the 3DCRT technique compared with the conventional technique. The effect of associated factors such as rectal dose during brachytherapy needs to be studied before a definitive conclusion can be drawn
Equivalent dose in 2 Gy (EQD2) to pelvic lymph nodes using volume based prescription for three brachytherapy applicators — a dosimetric retrospective analysis
Get PDFBACKGROUND: Pelvic lymph node (PLN) metastasis has been included in the FIGO staging, so there is a need to determine the dose contribution from brachytherapy to ascertain the total delivered dose to the pelvic lymph nodes in cervical cancer. The aim of the study was to calculate the equivalent dose in 2 Gy (EQD2) of the pelvic lymph nodes (PLNs) based on volume prescription using three applicators.
Materials and methods: Forty-one patients who had undergone external beam radiotherapy followed by brachytherapy using tandem ovoids (TO), tandem ring (TR) and TO + free hand interstitial needles (TO + FH) applicators were taken for this study. 26 Gy in 4 fractions was prescribed to HRCTV. The external iliac node (ELN), internal iliac node (ILN) and obturator (OBT) were contoured and the median EQD2 of the lymph nodes was calculated.
RESULTS: The median bilateral EQD2 values of ELN were 1.55 Gy (TR), 1.75 Gy (TO), 1.9 Gy (TO + FH), of ILN these were 2.57 Gy (TR), 3.27 Gy (TO), 3.04 Gy (TO + FH), and of OBT these were 3.69 Gy (TR), 4.46 Gy (TO), 4.69 Gy (TO + FH), respectively. The total median EQD2 values of TR, TO and TO + FH were 52.71 Gy, 53.03 Gy, and 53.88–62.73 Gy, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Our study calculated the median EQD2 to the pelvic lymph nodes using three types of applicators in brachytherapy. This could serve as reference to decide on the EBRT boost dose while treating patients with enlarged pelvic lymph nodes
Comparison of manual and inverse optimisation techniques in high dose rate intracavitary brachytherapy of cervical cancer: A dosimetric study
No full textAims and objectivesTo compare dosimetrically the manual optimisation with IPSA using dose volume histograms (DVH) among patients treated for carcinoma of cervix with intracavitary brachytherapy.BackgroundWith the advent of advanced imaging modalities, there has been a shift from conventional X-ray based planning to three-dimensional planning. Manual optimisation is widely used across various institutions but it is time consuming and operator dependant. Inverse planning simulated annealing (IPSA) is now available in various brachytherapy planning systems. But there is a paucity of studies comparing manual optimisation and IPSA in treatment of carcinoma cervix with intracavitary brachytherapy and hence this study.Materials and methodsFifteen consecutive patients treated between December 2013 and March 2014 with intracavitary brachytherapy for carcinoma of cervix were selected for this study. All patients were initially treated with external beam radiotherapy followed by intracavitary brachytherapy. The DVH was evaluated and compared between manually optimised plans and IPSA in the same set of patients.ResultsThere was a significant improvement in the HRCTV coverage, mean V100 of 87.75% and 82.37% (p[[ce:hsp sp="0.25"/]]=[[ce:hsp sp="0.25"/]]0.001) and conformity index 0.67 and 0.6 (p[[ce:hsp sp="0.25"/]]=[[ce:hsp sp="0.25"/]]0.007) for plans generated using IPSA and manual optimisation, respectively. Homogeneity index and dose to the OARs remained similar between the two groups.ConclusionThe use of inverse planning in intracavitary brachytherapy of cervix has shown a significant improvement in the target volume coverage when compared with manual planning
Epworth Sleepiness Scale- a novel tool to assess somnolence syndrome in patients receiving radiotherapy to the brain
Get PDFPurpose: Radiation to brain causes early, early-delayed, and delayed side effects. There is paucity of literature regarding early-delayed effects like somnolence syndrome. Existing studies use general symptom assessment and visual analog scales. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is a time tested tool to assess daytime sleepiness in various conditions. In this study, the ESS has been used to determine the occurrence of somnolence in patients receiving cranial radiotherapy for primary and metastatic brain tumors. Thus the ESS has been used in a novel setting in our study. The ESS is a simple to administer questionnaire and may be useful in grading the severity of somnolence. To our knowledge, this is the second study to determine post radiation somnolence using ESS. Methods: This prospective study was conducted in 23 patients with primary and metastatic brain tumor. Patient demographics and tumor type and grade was noted. Those with Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) less than 70 and with pre-existing sleep disorders were excluded. Radiotherapy regimen included palliative whole brain radiation for brain metastases and conformal adjuvant radiotherapy for primary brain tumors as per standard guidelines. All subjects included were administered ESS at baseline and weekly thereafter during and for 6 weeks after radiation. Results: All 23 patients (median age 50 years) completed the planned questionnaires until 6 weeks post radiation. Twenty (87%) patients had primary brain tumors whereas three (13%) patients had metastatic lesions in brain. Of the 23 patients, 14 patients (60.86%) had abnormal or increased daytime sleepiness; of which 3 had ESS scores greater than 16. Conclusion: Somnolence was noted in 60.86% of the patients, which is in accordance with existing literature. Epworth sleepiness scale is an effective tool to detect and quantify somnolence, However, it does not consider other symptoms of somnolence syndrome and hence should be combined with visual analog scale to get complete information
