Abstract

To evaluate the dosimetric and temporal effects of high-dose-rate respiratory-gated radiation therapy in patients with lung cancer. Treatment plans from 5 patients with lung cancer (3 nongated and 2 gated at 80EX-80IN) were retrospectively evaluated. Prescription dose for these patients varied from 8 to 18 Gy/fraction with 3 to 5 treatment fractions. Using the same treatment planning criteria, 4 new treatment plans, corresponding to 4 gating windows (20EX-20IN, 40EX-40IN, 60EX-60IN, and 80EX-80IN), were generated for each patient. Mean tumor dose, mean lung dose, and lung V20 were used to assess the dosimetric effects. A MATLAB algorithm was developed to compute treatment time. Mean lung dose and lung V20 were on average reduced between -16.1% to -6.0% and -20.0% to -7.2%, respectively, for gated plans when compared to the corresponding nongated plans, and between -5.8% to -4.2% and -7.0% to -5.4%, respectively, for plans with smaller gating windows when compared to the corresponding plans gated at 80EX-80IN. Treatment delivery times of gated plans using high-dose rate were reduced on average between -19.7% (-0.10 min/100 MU) and -27.2% (-0.13 min/100 MU) for original nongated plans and -15.6% (-0.15 min/100 MU) and -20.3% (-0....Continue Reading
