Abstract

Improved local control of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may be possible with an increased dose of radiation. Three-dimensional radiation treatment planning (3D RTP) was used to design a radiation therapy (RT) dose escalation trial, where the dose was determined by (a) the effective volume of normal lung irradiated, and (b) the estimated risk of a complication. Preliminary results of this trial were reviewed. A graph of the iso-normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) levels associated with a dose and effective volume (V(eff)) was derived, using normal tissue parameters derived from the literature. This led to a dose escalation schema, where patients were sorted into 1 of 5 treatment bins, determined by the V(eff) of the best possible treatment plan. The starting doses ranged from 63 to 84 Gy. Each treatment bin was then escalated separately, as in Phase I dose escalation fashion, with Grade > or = 3 radiation pneumonitis defined as dose limiting. To allow for dose escalation, we required patient follow-up to be > or = 6 months for at least three patients. 3D treatment planning was used to irradiate only the radiographically abnormal areas, with 2.1 Gy (corrected for lung inhomogeneity)/day. Clinically uninvolved lymph...Continue Reading
