A novel 5-field radiotherapy technique using adjoining and whole-volume fields improves normal tissue sparing for pelvic tumors. This method enhances organ-at-risk protection without compromising tumor control, offering a valuable option for specific clinical scenarios.

Area of Science:

  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Context:

  • Linear accelerators (linacs) with asymmetric jaws present unique challenges in radiotherapy planning.
  • Pelvic target volumes with rapid cranio-caudal variations require precise dose delivery.
  • Optimizing normal tissue sparing is crucial in radiation therapy to minimize toxicity.

Purpose:

  • To investigate a novel 5-field radiotherapy technique combining cranio-caudal adjoining fields with whole-volume fields.
  • To evaluate field matching accuracy and normal tissue/organ-at-risk sparing of this technique.
  • To compare the novel technique against standard 4-field box and opposing field techniques.

Summary:

  • A 5-field technique was planned for pelvic targets, utilizing individually weighted and blocked adjoining fields complemented by whole-volume fields.

  • Dose distributions were analyzed using Helax TMS, and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) and tumor control probability (TCP) were calculated.
  • The 5-field technique demonstrated reduced dose maxima at matching lines (2.0% caudal, 1.8% cranial) and superior sparing of organs at risk compared to other methods, with equivalent tumor control.

    • Impact:

    • The 5-field adjoining field technique offers improved sparing of organs at risk in radiotherapy for specific pelvic indications.
    • This technique provides a viable alternative for complex target volumes, enhancing patient safety.
    • Findings support the recommendation of cranio-caudal adjoining fields in select cases for better normal tissue protection.
