The present study evaluated the increment of cardiac risk (CR) and absorbed dose in radiotherapy of the internal mammary chain (IMC), in particular with photon portals of 4 6 MV, and cobalt therapy (Co60); and, electron portals of 8, 12 and 16 MeV applied in the left breast, considering the adoption of a combined photon (16 Gy) and electron (30 Gy) protocols.
The modified ICRP-reference female model of 60 kg, 163 cm and 43 years of age, coil RCP-AF, was modelled. The MCNP6/SICODES codes were employed, where the spatial dose distributions and dose-volume histograms were generated. Toxicity limits and a CR model were considered.
CR associated with the 6 MV, 4 MV and Co60 portals increased 41.1; 40.6 and 34.5%, respectively; while, in 8, 12 and 16 MeV portals, they were 5.0, 32.5 and 49.2%, respectively. High anomalous scatter radiation from electron portals was found in the left lung providing an average dose of 3.3-5.0 Gy.
To RCP-AF, the Co60 portal for IMC-RT presented more attractive dose distribution, whose 16 Gy for photon-component produced less CR increase, 5% lower than the other photon portals. Considering electron portals, the smallest CR increase was produced by 8 MeV portal while 12-16 MeV made the risk higher. There is a call for a less hardened energetic spectrum in order to reduce CR; however, holding suitable IMC penetration. A combined Co60/8-12 MeV may bring benefits, reducing CR. The lowest risk was found to 46 Gy electron portals exclusively.
本研究评估了内乳链(IMC)放射治疗中心脏风险(CR)的增加以及吸收剂量,特别是使用4、6 MV光子射野和钴治疗(Co60)时;以及应用于左乳的8、12和16 MeV电子射野,考虑采用光子(16 Gy)和电子(30 Gy)联合方案的情况。
对体重60 kg、身高163 cm、年龄43岁的改良国际放射防护委员会(ICRP)参考女性模型(线圈RCP - AF)进行建模。使用MCNP6/SICODES代码生成空间剂量分布和剂量体积直方图。考虑了毒性限值和CR模型。
与6 MV、4 MV和Co60射野相关的CR分别增加了41.1%、40.6%和34.5%;而在8、12和16 MeV射野中,分别为5.0%、32.5%和49.2%。在左肺发现电子射野产生的高异常散射辐射,平均剂量为3.3 - 5.0 Gy。
对于RCP - AF,IMC - RT的Co60射野呈现出更具吸引力的剂量分布,其光子部分的16 Gy产生的CR增加较少,比其他光子射野低5%。考虑电子射野,8 MeV射野产生的CR增加最小,而12 - 16 MeV使风险更高。需要更软的能谱以降低CR;然而,要保持对IMC的适当穿透。Co60/8 - 12 MeV联合使用可能会带来益处,降低CR。仅46 Gy电子射野的风险最低。
