BACKGROUND/AIM: We evaluated the dosimetric profiles of manually generated volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans and performance of a commercial knowledge-based planning system (KBP) in treating breast cancer.
We defined the manually generated VMAT plan as the manual plan (MP). Twenty MPs were generated for left-sided breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery and used to develop a KBP training set. The other five patients were used for validation. The dosimetric parameters among MPs, tangential irradiation plans (TPs), and KBP-VMAT plans (KBP-Ps) were compared.
D and homogeneity of the planning target volume (PTV) were significantly higher and greater in MPs and KBP-Ps than in TPs. Lung V, V The Dmean for the left anterior descending artery was lower in MPs and KBP-Ps than in TPs. KBP could save time in generating VMAT plans.
MPs and KBP-Ps could ensure higher dose uniformity of PTV than TPs. KBP could faster generate comparable MPs for breast cancer.
背景/目的:我们评估了手动生成的容积旋转调强弧形治疗(VMAT)计划的剂量学曲线,并评估了一种商业基于知识的计划系统(KBP)在治疗乳腺癌方面的性能。
我们将手动生成的 VMAT 计划定义为手动计划(MP)。为接受保乳手术的左侧乳腺癌患者生成了 20 个 MP,并将其用于开发 KBP 训练集。另外 5 名患者用于验证。比较了 MPs、切线照射计划(TP)和 KBP-VMAT 计划(KBP-P)之间的剂量学参数。
与 TP 相比,MPs 和 KBP-Ps 的计划靶区(PTV)D 和均匀性明显更高。左前降支的肺 V、V 5 和 Dmean 明显低于 TP。KBP 可以节省生成 VMAT 计划的时间。
MPs 和 KBP-Ps 可以确保 PTV 的剂量均匀性高于 TP。KBP 可以更快地为乳腺癌生成可比的 MPs。
