BACKGROUND/AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine whether a semi-cylindrical beam spoiler (sCBS) developed herein effectively increases the skin dose in patients with early-stage glottic cancer.
We measured the surface doses for 26 patients who used the sCBS during treatment of early-stage glottic cancer through a parallel-opposed lateral two-field 6 MV photon beam. Measurements were performed by attaching optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters to the left, right, anterior (in-field), inferior, and superior (out-field) sides of the patient.
The measured results were 81.8±2.1% (left), 81.0±1.7% (right), and 76.8±2.7% (anterior) in the in-field region compared to prescription doses, with 5.7±1.7% (superior) and 2.7±0.7% (inferior) in the out-field region.
sCBS can deliver a suitably ideal surface dose for treatment of early-stage glottic cancer.
背景/目的:本研究旨在确定本文所开发的半圆柱状射束挡块(sCBS)是否能有效提高早期声门型喉癌患者的皮肤剂量。
我们通过使用 6 MV 光子束的平行对侧外侧两野法,对 26 例使用 sCBS 治疗早期声门型喉癌的患者进行了测量。通过将光激励发光剂量计附着在患者的左侧、右侧、前(场内)侧、下侧和上(场外)侧,来进行测量。
与处方剂量相比,场内区域的测量结果分别为 81.8±2.1%(左侧)、81.0±1.7%(右侧)和 76.8±2.7%(前侧),场外区域的测量结果分别为 5.7±1.7%(上侧)和 2.7±0.7%(下侧)。
sCBS 可以为治疗早期声门型喉癌提供合适的理想表面剂量。
