BACKGROUND/AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy (HDR-ICBT) in uterine cervical cancer (UCC). IMRT consisted of whole-pelvic radiation therapy (WPRT) and sequential WPRT with central-shielding (WPRT-CS).
Thirty UCC patients treated with IMRT using TomoTherapy, were retrospectively analyzed.
The median dose of WPRT and WPRT-CS was 36 and 14.4 Gy and the median total dose of these was 50 Gy in 25 fractions (Fr). Median HDR-ICBT dose/Fr to Point A was 25 Gy/5 Fr. Median 2 Gy per fraction-equivalent dose (EQD2) of combined WPRT and HDR-ICBT to Point A (α/β=10) was 71.0 Gy. The 3-year local control, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were 89.9%, 83.3%, and 86.3%.
IMRT of WPRT and WPRT-CS given in combination with HDR-ICBT was a feasible therapy resulting in good disease control and tolerance in patients with UCC.
背景/目的:本研究旨在评估调强放疗(IMRT)联合高剂量率腔内近距离放疗(HDR-ICBT)治疗子宫颈癌(UCC)的临床疗效。IMRT 包括全盆腔放疗(WPRT)和中央屏蔽的序贯 WPRT(WPRT-CS)。
回顾性分析了 30 例接受 TomoTherapy 调强放疗的 UCC 患者。
WPRT 和 WPRT-CS 的中位剂量分别为 36 和 14.4 Gy,这些剂量的总中位剂量为 50 Gy,共 25 个分数(Fr)。A 点 HDR-ICBT 的中位剂量/Fr 为 25 Gy/5 Fr。联合 WPRT 和 HDR-ICBT 至 A 点的 2 Gy 等分剂量(EQD2)(α/β=10)中位值为 71.0 Gy。3 年局部控制、无病生存率和总生存率分别为 89.9%、83.3%和 86.3%。
WPRT 和 WPRT-CS 的 IMRT 联合 HDR-ICBT 是一种可行的治疗方法,可使 UCC 患者获得良好的疾病控制和耐受性。
