Summary

Routine three-dimensional (3D) treatment planning is feasible in clinical practice. This prospective study demonstrated that 3D planning for thoracic and pelvic tumors is time-efficient and clinically acceptable.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Medical Physics

Background:

  • Three-dimensional (3D) treatment planning offers potential advantages in radiation therapy.
  • Its clinical utility and time efficiency in routine practice required evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and time consumption of routine three-dimensional treatment planning in a clinical setting.
  • To evaluate the clinical acceptance of 3D treatment planning for various tumor sites.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 166 patients over 14 months.
  • 155 patients were treated using 3D treatment plans.
  • Target volumes were contoured on CT slices by radiation oncologists.

Main Results:

  • Over 50% of patients had thoracic tumors, followed by pelvic tumors.
  • Initial planning time averaged 6.5 hours per patient, trending towards 4 hours with optimization.
  • Approximately 20-30% of computer-assisted planning was performed in 3D, averaging one plan daily.

Conclusions:

  • The achieved time consumption for 3D treatment planning is clinically acceptable.
  • 3D treatment planning can be successfully introduced into routine clinical practice.
  • This method supports efficient radiation therapy for complex tumor sites.
