Radiotherapy Treatment Indications

  • Brachytherapy
  • External beam RT
  • Combined B/EBRT

Low risk Intermediate risk High risk Postoperative

Dose

  • Large trials confirm that higher dose improve

cancer control – become standard of care

– Independent of type of radiation used

  • Now - limit collateral injury to rectum,

bladder, erectile structures

– Reduce the volume of normal tissue exposed to high-dose

Approach

  • Improve precision and accuracy

– IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy) – IGRT (Image-Guided Radiotherapy)

  • Target cancer instead of organs

– Imaging

Step-by-step process - Planning

  • Patient education + Prep instructions
  • Immobilisation - VacLok
  • CTSim - 2mm slices for DRR generation
  • Contouring
  • PTV margin generation – 10mm (7mm post)
  • IMRT planning
  • Physics QA

New technologies

  • Planning RT

– VMAT

  • Tracking the prostate

– GPS, soft tissue, US

  • Improved imaging

– MRI

High Precision Radiotherapy

  • Identifying the tumour
  • Knowing where the tumour is during

treatment

  • Accurate targeting of the tumour

Image Guidance

  • Accurately directing

radiation to the target

  • Improves precision
  • Reduces normal tissue in

the treatment volume

IMRT Prep

  • Fiducial markers
  • CT/MR simulation

Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy

(VMAT)

  • Continuous irradiation with gantry

motion;

– as in conventional arc therapy.

  • Field shape changes with rotation;

– “Arbitrary” fluence patterns at each gantry angle fall within a single arc.

Conclusions

  • Radiotherapy continues to evolve
  • Dynamic process
  • Old and new technologies continue to

advance the ‘state of the art’

  • Delivery of dose to a specified target with

sparing of normal tissue as a goal is achievable…….we are not there…….yet
