To analyze the combined and updated results from the University of Michigan and University Medical Center Utrecht on normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of the parotid gland 1 year after radiotherapy (RT) for head-and-neck (HN) cancer.
A total of 222 prospectively analyzed patients with various HN malignancies were treated with conventional and intensity-modulated RT. Stimulated individual parotid gland flow rates were measured before RT and 1 year after RT using Lashley cups at both centers. A flow ratio <25% of pretreatment was defined as a complication. The data were fitted to the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman model.
A total of 384 parotid glands (Michigan: 157; Utrecht: 227 glands) was available for analysis 1 year after RT. Combined NTCP analysis based on mean dose resulted in a TD(50) (uniform dose leading to 50% complication probability) of 39.9 Gy and m (steepness of the curve) of 0.40. The resulting NTCP curve had good qualitative agreement with the combined clinical data. Mean doses of 25-30 Gy were associated with 17-26% NTCP.
A definite NTCP curve for parotid gland function 1 year after RT is presented, based on mean dose. No threshold dose was observed, and TD(50) was equal to 40 Gy.
分析密歇根大学和乌得勒支大学医学中心关于头颈部癌症放疗后 1 年腮腺正常组织并发症概率(NTCP)的联合更新结果。
共分析了 222 例接受常规和调强放疗的各种头颈部恶性肿瘤患者。在两个中心,使用 Lashley 杯在放疗前和放疗后 1 年测量个体腮腺流量率。将预处理时流量比<25%定义为并发症。将数据拟合到 Lyman-Kutcher-Burman 模型中。
共有 384 个腮腺(密歇根:157 个;乌得勒支:227 个)在放疗后 1 年可用于分析。基于平均剂量的联合 NTCP 分析得出 TD(50)(导致 50%并发症概率的均匀剂量)为 39.9 Gy 和 m(曲线的陡峭度)为 0.40。所得 NTCP 曲线与联合临床数据具有良好的定性一致性。25-30 Gy 的平均剂量与 17-26%的 NTCP 相关。
根据平均剂量,提出了放疗后 1 年腮腺功能的明确 NTCP 曲线。未观察到阈值剂量,TD(50)等于 40 Gy。
