Area of Science:

  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Inadequate radiation dose delivery, due to geographic miss, underdosing, or proximity to normal tissues, is a cause of radiotherapy failure.
  • Computerized tomography (CT)-based treatment planning has improved radiation delivery.
  • Beam's eye view (BEV)-based radiotherapy planning offers potential improvements over CT-based methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and impact of implementing Beam's Eye View (BEV)-based radiotherapy planning in a clinical setting.
  • To assess the benefits of BEV-based radiotherapy planning in improving tumor coverage and treatment individualization.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 198 patients treated with BEV-based photon radiotherapy since January 1988.
  • Inclusion of patients undergoing radical radiotherapy and those with planning CT in the treatment position.

  • Evaluation of routine use, geometric coverage, portal design, team time commitment, technique individualization, and toxicity data.

    • Main Results:

    • Routine use of BEV-based radiotherapy (BEVRT) is feasible in busy departments.
    • BEVRT enhances geometric tumor coverage and is valuable for oblique portal design.
    • BEVRT allows for individualized radiotherapy techniques and shows preliminary decreased acute toxicity in prostate cancer patients.

    Conclusions:

    • BEV-based radiotherapy planning is practical and offers significant advantages in tumor coverage and treatment personalization.
    • Preliminary findings suggest potential for reduced acute toxicity, particularly in prostate cancer.
    • Further research is needed to confirm improvements in long-term outcomes like local control and survival.
