Topometry is an integral part of irradiation whose task is to repeat the position of the patient set by the simulator to repeat the PTV and the spatial relationship between the radiation field and the risk organs that were identified during planning. The dose distribution formulated in the plan is only an ideal model. There is some gap between the actual and planned dose distribution, especially in overweight patients. OBJECTIVE: evaluate the effect of anthropometric data on the deviation between the planned dose and the results of dosimetry in vivo in patients with uterine cancer during postoperative irradiation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors analyzed the results of treatment of 110 patients with stage IB-II uterine can- cer who were treated at the Department of Radiation Therapy of the Institute of Medical Radiology and Oncology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine from 2016 to 2019. The technique of classical fractionation was used with a single focal dose of 2.0 Gy 5 times a week, the total focal dose was 42.0-50.0 Gy. To assess the effect of the patient's anthropometric data on the difference between the actual and calculated dose, the authors per- formed in vivo dosimetry after the first session and in the middle of the postoperative course of external beam radi- ation therapy. RESULTS: Рatients with BSA < 1.92 m2, had the median relative deviation at the first session -4.12 %, after 20.0 Gy - 3.61 %, patients with BSA > 1.92 m2: -2.06 % and -1.55 % respectively. After 20 Gy 34.8 % of patients with BSA < 1.92 m2 there was an increase in deviation from the planned dose, 65.2 % a decrease, while in 56.1 % of patients with BSA > 1.92 m2 there was an increase, and in 43.9 % - its reduction. With increasing BMI, the actual dose received on the rectal mucosa in the tenth session of irradiation is approaching the calculated one. CONCLUSIONS: When irradiated on the ROKUS-AM device, we did not find a probable dependence of the influence of the constitutional features of patients between the received and planned radiation dose. When treated with a Clinac 600 C, only body weight and body mass index at the tenth irradiation session have a likely effect on the dose differ- ence. Therefore, issues related to the individual approach to the treatment of uterine cancer, depending on anthro- pometric data is an urgent problem of modern radiotherapy.

LATE RADIATION TOXICITY AFTER RADICAL RADIOTHERAPY FOR GENITAL CANCER. / PIZNIa PROMENEVA TOKSYChNIST' PISLIa RADYKAL'NOÏ RADIOTERAPIÏ RAKU GENITALII.

Radiation therapy for malignant tumors of the female genital area, even with the use of modern radiotherapy equipment and dosimetric planning, causes the development of local radiation changes. An approach involving methodsof general and local exposure is used in their treatment. One of the most promising directions is the creation of optimal combinations of medicines (in the form of ointments, gels, aerosols, suppositories, etc.), which have a therapeutic effect on the inflammatory process. The article reflects the clinical course and stage of occurrence of late radiation reactions of the skin, vaginal/cervix mucosa, bladder, and intestines, as well as the features of their treatment.Literary data and own practical experience in the treatment of radiation complications are presented. Whenreviewing the topic under study, it could be concluded that the leading cause of the development of local radiationdamage is the errors in the planning and implementation of radiation therapy, when high absorbed doses thatexceed the tolerance of healthy tissues are used. Another reason for this is the poor accounting for dose distribution of ionizing radiation in tissues, the presence of concomitant diseases in patients, and the underestimation ofthe long-term effects of radiation.
