Abstract

To study the relative effects of different radiation factors on temporal lobe necrosis (TLN) and predictive accuracy of different biological equivalent models. Consecutive patients (1008) treated radically with four different fractionation schedules during 1976-1985 for T1 nasopharyngeal carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. All were irradiated by megavoltage photons using the same technique. Their age ranged from 18-84 years, and 92% of patients had complete follow-up. The fractional dose to inferomedial parts of both temporal lobes ranged from 2.5-4.2 Gy, total dose 45.6-60 Gy, and overall time 38-75 days. Despite a lower total dose of 50.4 Gy, the 621 patients irradiated with 4.2 Gy per fraction had a significantly higher incidence of temporal lobe necrosis than the 320 patients treated to 60 Gy with 2.5 Gy per fraction: the 10-year actuarial incidence being 18.6% vs. 4.6%, p < 0.001. Multivariate survival analysis showed that fractional effect (product of total dose and fractional dose) was the most significant factor: p = 0.0022, hazard ratio (HR) = 1.044 per Gy2. Overall time and age were both insignificant. The alpha/beta ratio calculated from our data was 2.9 Gy (95% CI: -1.8, 7.6 Gy). Biological effective dose (BED(...Continue Reading
