Abstract
For some patients with
locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), the brachytherapy is not an option.
The possible treatment includes two-stage external beam radiotherapy
(sequential boost - SEQ) or single-stage external beam radiotherapy
(simultaneous integrated boost - SIB). The single-stage SIB-VMAT (25,27 or 30
fractions) and double-stage SEQ-VMAT (25+6 fractions) plans were developed to
deliver EQD2=50Gy to the pelvic region and EQD2=90Gy to the tumour. The
developed plans were compared with respect to EQD2 dose delivered to tumour and
to the OARs, expected tumour control probability and normal tissue complications
probability.
The developed SIB-VMAT
and SEQ-VMAT plans had the physical coverage of the CTV tumours more than 95%
of prescribed dose delivered to more than 95% of the volume. The irradiation of
the tumour for both SIB-VMAT and SEQ-VMAT has comparable EQD2 values close to
87-88 Gy. SIB-VMAT treatment plans provided lower levels of OARs irradiation
than SEQ-VMAT plans. The optimal number of fractions for SIB-VMAT was equal to
27.
In conclusion, SIB-VMAT
is better treatment technique for the patients with LACC with brachytherapy
impossibility. Results show that both SIB-VMAT and SEQ-VMAT allowed good
coverage of the tumour and high-quality dose delivery. SIB-VMAT allowed to
minimize OARs irradiation and to save at least a week of overall treatment time.
