目的:探讨经导管肝动脉灌注化疗栓塞(TACE)与TACE联合三维适形放射治疗(TACE + 3DCRT)原发性肝细胞癌(HCC)的疗效.方法:随机分成两组的HCC患者,均不能手术、门脉无癌栓、无远处脏器转移。50例患者行单纯TACE 2次(TACE组)。40例患者在TACE 2次后第四周再行三维适形放射治疗(TACE + 3DCRT组),放疗采用6MVX射线,4～6 Gy/次,隔日一次,3次/周,总剂量45～60 Gy。TACE采用碘化油、顺铂、5氟尿嘧啶、表阿霉素及明胶海绵。结果:TACE组与TACE+3DCRT组近期疗效有效率(完全缓解+部分缓解)分别为68.0%(34/50)、87.5%(35/40),1年生存率分别为78.0%(39/50)、95.0%(38/40),两组差异均有统计学意义(Plt;0.05)。TACE的治疗反应主要为栓塞综合征,3DCRT有7.5%(3/40)发生急性放射性肝炎,经对症、保肝处理后缓解。两组患者均能耐受。结论:TACE + 3DCRT治疗不能手术、门脉无癌栓、无远处脏器转移的HCC的疗效较单纯TACE治疗HCC的疗效好。
ObjectiveTo compare the dosimetric differences among the double-arc volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), 7 field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) techniques in treatment planning for cervical cancer as adjuvant radiotherapy. MethodFifteen patients who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy for cervical cancer between March 1st and September 30th, 2013 were chosen to be our study subjects through random sampling. Under Pinnacle 9.2 planning system, the same CT image was designed through three different techniques:VMAT, IMRT and 3D-CRT. We then compared target zone fitness index, evenness index, D98%, D2%, D50% among those different techniques. Monitor unit (MU) and treatment time were also analyzed. ResultsThree techniques showed similar target dose coverage. The IMRT and VMAT plans achieved better target dose conformity, which reduced the V20 of the pelvic, the V50 of the rectum and bladder, as well as the V40/50 of the small intestine (P<0.05). The VMAT technique showed few dosimetric advantages over the IMRT technique. VMAT technique had the advantages of less MU (P>0.05) and shorter overall treatment time (P<0.01) compared with IMRT technique. ConclusionsThe IMRT and VMAT plans achieve similar dose distribution to the target, and are superior to the 3D-CRT plans, in adjuvant radiotherapy for cervical cancer. VMAT technique has the advantages of less MU and shorter overall treatment time.
