RESUMO

To evaluate the clinical feasibility and dosimetric benefits of a novel gantry-static couch-motion (GsCM) technique for external beam photon boost treatment of lumpectomy cavity in patients with early-stage breast cancer in comparison to three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), wedge pair in supine position (WPS), and wedge pair in decubitus position (WPD) techniques. A retrospective review was conducted on breast patients (right breast, n = 10 and left breast, n = 10) who received 10 Gy boost after 50 Gy to whole breast. The treatment plans were generated using an isocentric-based GsCM technique (a VMAT type planning approach) integrating couch rotational motion at static gantry positions. Static fields for each tangential side were merged using a Matlab® script and delivered automatically within the Varian TruebeamTM STx in Developer Mode application as a VMAT arc (wide-angular medial and short-angular lateral arcs). The dosimetric accuracy of the plan delivery was evaluated by ion chamber array measurements in phantom. For both right and left breast boost GsCM, 3D-CRT, WPS, and WPD all provided an adequate coverage to PTV. GsCM significantly reduced the ipsilateral lung V30% for right side (mean, 80%) and left side (mean, 70%). Heart V5% reduced by 90% (mean) for right and 80% (mean) for left side. Ipsilateral breast V50% and mean dose were comparable for all techniques but for GsCM, V100% reduced by 50% (mean) for right and left side. The automated delivery of both arcs was under 2 min as compared to delivering individual fields (30 ± 5 min). The gamma analysis using 2 mm distance to agreement (DTA) and 2% dose difference (DD) was 98 ± 1.5% for all 20 plans. The GsCM technique facilitates coronal plane dose delivery appropriate for deep-seated breast boost cavities, with sufficient dose conformity of target volume paired with sparing of the OARs.
