1 Will CyberKnife M6 Multileaf collimator offer advantages over collimator in prostate SBRT? Vindu Kathriarachchi Professional Science Master in Medical Physics Department of Physics, Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton, FL Lynn Cancer Institute, Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Boca Raton, FL May 1, 2015, Orlando FLAAPM Spring Meeting

2 Purpose To compare dose distributions and time efficiency of SBRT prostate treatments with collimator and InCise of CyberKnife M6 2

3 CyberKnife(CK) Fixed - 12 circular collimators (5 to 60mm). Can select up to three for a treatment dodecagon-shaped collimators (5 to 60mm). Can select all the collimators for the treatment. 1. Echner G.G. et al. Phys Med Biol 54: ; Kilby W. et al. IFMBE proceedings 25: ,

4 CyberKnife(CK) M6 FIM Consists of fixed, variable aperture and InCise Multileaf Collimators. InCise - 41 leaf pairs (max field 10x12cm). Courtesy of Accuray Inc. Courtesy of Accuray Inc. 1. Water S. et al. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 81:863-70;

5 Prostate SBRT with CK Radiobiology of prostate cancer (low α/β) supports hypo-fractionated treatments. CyberKnife prostate SBRT: 36.25Gy or 35Gy in 5 fractions 1,2. High biochemical control rates: 100% at 30 months 1,2 and 97% at 24 months 3. Low grade rectal and bladder toxicities (similar to conventional EBRT) King C.R. et al.

16 Conclusion InCise of CyberKnife M6 and can both produce equivalent prostate treatment in terms of target coverage, critical structure sparing, TCP and NTCP. Yes, InCise of CyberKnife M6 offers a significant reduction in treatment time (36%) and total MUs (42%) compared to. 16

17 Future Work Compare dose distributions and time efficiency of prostate SBRT treatments with conventional linac and Cyberknife M6. Compare dose distributions and time efficiency of lung SBRT treatments with collimator and InCise. 17
