ObjectiveTo compare the radiation dose distribution in irradiated target area and organs at risk among conventional radiotherapy, conformal radiotherapy and semi-field conformal radiotherapy in Graves' ophthalmopathy patients. MethodsThirty patients with Grave's ophthalmopathy treated between January 2010 and December 2012 were included in this study.CT scan was performed to obtain images of each patients; three-dimensional planning system (3D-TPS) was done to design conventional radiotherapy, conformal radiotherapy and semi-field conformal radiotherapy for each patient.Then, we counted the standard deviation of study parameters for each radiotherapy technique, and the results were compared among the three groups. ResultsAverage irradiation dose in target area of patients accepting conventional irradiation, conformal irradiation and semi-field conformal irradiation therapy was not significantly different (P > 0.05).V95 and the conformity index values of conformal irradiation and semi-field conformal irradiation therapy were better than those of the conventional irradiation therapy (P < 0.001), while no significant difference between conformal irradiation and semi-field conformal irradiation therapy was detected (P > 0.05).Patients accepting conventional irradiation got the highest cumulative irradiation dose in eye lens, while patients accepting semi-field conformal irradiation therapy got the lowest irradiation dose in eye lens, and the differences were significant (P < 0.05).Patients accepting conventional irradiation got the highest cumulative irradiation dose in pituitary, while cumulative irradiation dose in pituitary in patients accepting conformal irradiation and semi-field conformal irradiation therapy was not significantly different (P > 0.05). ConclusionsConformal irradiation and semi-field conformal irradiation techniques are superior to conventional irradiation technique, with a better target conformal degree and higher does distribution in target area, as well as a lower radiation dose in normal tissues surrounding target area.Semi-field conformal irradiation technique has a better performance than conformal irradiation therapy in eye lens protection.
目的:探讨宫颈癌体外放射治疗加后装腔内治疗的疗效和放射反应。方法:对76例宫颈癌患者均采用体外放射治疗加60Co 后装腔内治疗临床资料进行回顾性分析。结果:全组 5年总生存率为 63.7%,Ⅰ期生存率为88.9%,Ⅱ期为 71.9%,Ⅲ期为48.1%,Ⅳ期为 20.0%。10年总生存率为 31.6%,Ⅰ期生存率为 53.3%,Ⅱ期为33.3%,Ⅲ期为 22.0%,Ⅳ期为 0.0%,经Log Rank法检验各期生存率有显著差异(Plt;0.01)。放射治疗后发生阴道粘连 9例(11.8%),放射性膀胱炎 6例(7.9%),放射性直肠炎13例(17.1%)。放射性直肠炎按 RTOG 晚期放射损伤分级方案分级,1级7例(53.8%),2级4例(30.8%),3级 2例(15.4%),4级 0例(0.0%)。结论:体外放射治疗加60Co后装腔内治疗宫颈癌疗效肯定,副作用少。但如何进一步提高生存率,尽可能减少放射反应仍是今后研究的方向。
