Objective To explore the application of MR guided hippocampal avoidant whole brain radiotherapy(WBRT)for small cell lung cancer(SCLC).Methods Thirty SCLC patients with brain metastases who underwent WBRT were enrdled.After routine CT localization was performed,and a head MR was performed in a the same position.T1 weighted images of MR and CT images were accurately fused on the Monaco 5.1 planning system.The entire brain tissue and hippocampus region were delineated. The dose drop areas between the hippocampus and the planned target area were expanded 5mm and 15mm in the three-dimensional direction of the hippocampus,respectively.Three volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT)radiotherapy plans were designed for each patient on the Monaco 5.1 planning system based on whether the hippocampal tissue was avoid.The average and maximum doses of hippocampal tissue were observed.Results After the avoidance of hippocampal tissue,the D100 of the three radiotherapy plans reached ≥95%,and there was no significant difference in D100 between the three radiotherapy plans in each case.After setting dose drop areas of 5mm and 15mm for external expansion,the average and maximum doses of the left and right hippocampus were significantly reduced,and there was a significant difference in the comparison between the average and maximum doses in the hippocampus of the three radiotherapy plans.Conclusions MR guided hippocampal avoidant technology and the setting of a 15 mm dose drop area can significantly reduce the dose to the hippocampus in patients with SCLC undergo whole brain radiotherapy.

Objective To investigate the application of volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT) in the radiotherapy for multiple bone metastases in the whole spine,and observe of efficacy and evaluation of safety.Methods The clinical data were selected from 50 patients who were treated in our department between January 2018 and January 2021 with palliative analgesic radiotherapy for multiple metastases of the whole spine.Conformal radiotherapy(CRT)and multicenter VMAT plans were respectively applied to target areas of whole spine,and dose volume histogram was used to evaluate the dose coverage of target area and organ at risk(OAR). After radiotherapy,the short-term efficacy was evaluated by visual analog scale in between 1-8 weeks,and the whole spine MRI was reviewed every 3 months to observe the adverse reactions of radiotherapy.Results The dose coverage,target conformality index and homogeneity index of VMAT treatment were significantly better than those of CRT treatment(P<0.01),and no obvious dose hotspots and cold spots were observed in the overlapping area of irradiation field. When VMAT treatment was applied,the exposure volume of V5 Gy in OAR was significantly higher when compared with CRT treatment(P<0.01).Except for stomach,pancreas and small intestine,the exposure volume of V10 Gy in OAR was significantly higher for VMAT treatment when compared with CRT treatment (P<0.01 or P<0.05).When VMAT treatment was applied,the exposure volume of V20 Gy in OAR was significantly lower when compared with CRT treatment(P<0.01),and except for kidney,the exposure volume of V30 Gy in OAR was significantly lower when compared with CRT treatment(P<0.01).When VMAT treatment was applied,the maximum exposure of OAR was significantly lower than that of CRT(P<0.01 or P<0.05),however,except for the heart,pancreas and small intestine,the average exposure of VMAT treatment to OAR was higher than that of CRT (P<0.01 or P<0.05).Compared with CRT,VMAT treatment had significantly increased beam-out time(P<0.01),the therapist setting time of CRT was increased when compared with that of VMAT(P<0.05),and the total treatment time of VMAT was increased when compared with that of CRT(P<0.01). In the assessment 8 weeks after the treatments,16 patients had complete pain relief,22 had partial relief,8 had mild relief,and 4 had no effect,which total effective rate was 76%.The follow-up was ended in December 2021.There was no acute or chronic injury to the spinal cord and other tissues in the overlapping areas of the irradiation fields observed for all follow-up patients in the 3rd,6th,9th and 12th month whole-spine MRI re-examination.Conclusions VMAT has uniform dose distribution in multi-center radiotherapy for long target areas,with significant short-term efficacy and safety.

Objective To obtain the best cervical cancer treatment benefit through kilovoltage cone-beam CT (kV-CBCT) positioning, by using high-precision external beam therapy technology, that is, image-guided radiation therapy/volumetric modulated arc therapy (IGRT/VMAT). Methods Two hundred and five patients with cervical cancer treated with IGRT/VMAT were included in the experimental group. After kV-CBCT positioning once a week, these images were matched with the planned CT scan images and the setup errors were recorded. A total of 1 025 kV-CBCT images were studied. Ninety patients with cervical cancer positioned by conventional X-ray during the same period were selected as the control group. The boundary of the planned target volume (PTV) was calculated based on the setup errors. Results In the experimental group, the setup errors in the anteroposterior, superoinferior and mediolateral direction were (1.8±1.1) mm, (2.8±2.2) mm, and (1.7±1.4) mm, respectively. And in the control group, the setup errors were (2.8±2.1) mm, (3.9±2.2) mm, and (2.7±2.4) mm, respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). In the experimental group, the CTV-PTV boundaries in the anteroposterior, superoinferior and mediolateral direction were 5.27 mm, 8.54 mm, and 5.23 mm, respectively. And in the control group, the CTV-PTV boundaries were 8.47 mm, 11.29 mm, and 8.43 mm, respectively. Conclusion When using high-precision technology to treat cervical cancer, weekly kV-CBCT is a satisfactory and accurate positioning method, which helps to reduce the CTV-PTV boundary.
