Abstract: Objective To compare the gross tumor volume(GTV)and dose distributions for organs at risk(OAR)between external beam radiation therapy(EBRT)and low-dose rate(LDR)brachytherapy in the treatment of cervical vertebral metastases, in order to provide the basis for clinical treatment. Methods A total of 10 patients were randomly selected. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3D-CRT)planning was a single forth one with two oblique radiation fields. Intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)planning included five equal radiation fields, and 2-arc volumetric-modulated arc radiotherapy(VMAT)was adopted. The images from Oncentra treatment planning system(TPS)were delivered to Prowess TPS to formulate LDR brachytherapy pre-operative simulation plan. Results For the same dose of spinal cord, the biologically effective dose(BED)of D90 and D95 of LDR were(184.15±25.84)Gy and(161.45±26.35)Gy. When the fraction scheme was 2 Gy/f, the D95 BED of VMAT, IMRT and 3D-CRT were(120.52±10.66)Gy,(119.19±10.91)Gy and(96.24±28.65)Gy. When the fraction scheme was 3 Gy/f, the 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)55卷7期 -曹倩倩,等.放射性125I粒子植入与外放疗治疗颈椎转移瘤剂量学对比分析 \=-D95 BED 3 Gy/f of VMAT, IMRT and 3D-CRT were(122.19±7.54)Gy,(122.37±8.19)Gy and(95.94±24.70)Gy. All parameters complied with the normal distribution, P=0.00 after paired t test. There was no statistical difference in V5 of the mucosa among VMAT, IMRT and LDR(P=0.16, 0.34), and V5 of the mucosa of 3D-CRT was higher than that in LDR(P=0.00). The V30 and Dmean of LDR were less than those of 3D-CRT, VMAT and IMRT, statistically(P=0.00). Other parameters of the thyroid gland, parotid gland and mandible were significantly different between LDR and 3D-CRT, VMAT and IMRT(P=0.00). Conclusion When the fraction schemes were 2 Gy/f and 3 Gy/f, 3D-CRT, IMRT and VMAT had lower GTV doses than LDR, which could protect the OARs at the same time. Therefore, as to the cervical vertebral metastases after EBRT, LDR is a good choice for salvage treatment.
