Abstract

PURPOSE

Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) significantly reduces mean heart dose (MHD), but data on cardiac substructure dose and toxicity compared to intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) are limited. This study evaluated dose reduction in cardiac substructures between IMPT and IMRT and assessed cardiac toxicity risks using 2 normal tissue complication probability models.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 30 breast cancer patients from a randomized trial with the highest MHD receiving IMRT. IMPT plans were created for a prescribed dose of 4005 cGy(RBE) in 15 fractions. Normal tissue complication probability models were used to compare individual acute coronary events (ACEs) risk between IMPT and IMRT.

RESULTS

Intensity-modulated proton therapy reduced cardiac substructure doses by 63.34% to 100%, with greater absolute reductions in left-sided and relative reductions in right-sided patients. For left-sided internal mammary node irradiation (IMNI), IMPT achieved an 82.25% reduction for left anterior descending coronary artery ( = .009), 79.45% for RV ( < .001), and over 90% for other substructures. Right-sided patients had near-zero mean doses in most substructures. The Darby model indicates IMPT reduces individual ACE risk by 1.58% to 5.16% for left-sided IMNI ( = .001) and 0.59% to 1.05% for right-sided IMNI ( = .063). The Bogaard model shows a 0.19% to 2.75% reduction in individual 9-year ACE risk-based MHD for left-sided IMNI ( = .0015). Risk reduction variations are influenced by dose reduction and other risk factors.

CONCLUSION

Intensity-modulated proton therapy provides excellent cardiac protection, particularly for left-sided IMNI and high-risk patients.

摘要

目的

调强质子治疗（IMPT）可显著降低平均心脏剂量（MHD），但与调强放射治疗（IMRT）相比，关于心脏亚结构剂量和毒性的数据有限。本研究评估了IMPT和IMRT之间心脏亚结构的剂量降低情况，并使用两种正常组织并发症概率模型评估心脏毒性风险。

材料与方法

对一项随机试验中30例接受IMRT且MHD最高的乳腺癌患者进行回顾性分析。为15次分割的4005 cGy（RBE）处方剂量创建IMPT计划。使用正常组织并发症概率模型比较IMPT和IMRT之间个体急性冠状动脉事件（ACEs）风险。

结果

调强质子治疗使心脏亚结构剂量降低了63.34%至100%，左侧患者的绝对降低幅度更大，右侧患者的相对降低幅度更大。对于左侧内乳淋巴结照射（IMNI），IMPT使左前降支冠状动脉的剂量降低了82.25%（P = 0.009），右心室降低了79.45%（P < 0.001），其他亚结构降低了90%以上。右侧患者大多数亚结构的平均剂量接近零。Darby模型表明，IMPT使左侧IMNI的个体ACE风险降低了1.58%至5.16%（P = 0.001），右侧IMNI降低了0.59%至1.05%（P = 0.063）。Bogaard模型显示，基于个体9年ACE风险的MHD，左侧IMNI降低了0.19%至2.75%（P = 0.0015）。风险降低的差异受剂量降低和其他风险因素的影响。
