3 Background Tremor greatly reduces QoL Parkinsonian Multiple Sclerosis Essential Incidence ~616 per 100,000 people Treatment options Medical management Surgical thalamotomy RF ablation DBS Gamma Knife (GK) radiosurgery J. Benito-León, et al. Incidence of essential tremor in three elderly populations of central Spain Neurology, 64 (2005), pp S L I D E 2

5 GK Thalamotomy Promising efficacy >80% tremor improvement in most series Toxicity rare (<10%), but can be severe Hemiparesis, paresthesia, dysarthria, dysphagia, gait disturbance, death due to hemorrhage/necrosis Multifactorial Anecdotal reports: increased toxicity with Cobalt-60 source replacement Campbell, et al.

6 GK Thalamotomy Source Age / Dose Rate Cobalt-60 lifespan (half-life ~5.25 years) New source Replacement Old source Source Activity Dose Rate Treatment Time toxicity? efficacy? 1) Fowler et al. Loss of biological effect in prolonged fraction delivery. May 2004, Pages S L I D E 5
7 Hypotheses Given high Rx dose of GK thalamotomy, biologically effective dose (BED) of treatment may vary significantly with Cobalt-60 source age This variation may substantial enough to expect effect on clinical outcome A BED model based on the linear-quadratic (LQ) model with correction for intra-fraction DNA repair could estimate BED variation with source age S L I D E 6
8 Methods - BED: the LQ Model [ λ,t] ln SD ( ) G D BED = D 1 + α α / β G = protraction factor (~intra-fraction repair) T = irradiation time (~Co-60 source age) τ= DNA repair half-time (~0.1 to 10 hr) λ = ln 2 τ Adapted from Carlson et al. S L I D E 7
9 GK Thalamotomy BED Model Construction Model Parameters: D, T, α/β, τ Dose Treatment time α/β Alpha / Beta τ DNA repair half-time ln 2 λ = τ S L I D E 8
10 GK Thalamotomy BED Model Construction Model Parameters: Dose = 130 Gy λ = ln 2 τ Treatment time ~ Co-60 Source Age New Source: Dose Rate(t=0) = 2.99 Gy/min * Exponential activity decay (T 1/2 = 5.25 years = 63 months) Dose Rate(t) = Dose Rate(0) x A [ ] A = Ao exp ln(2) / 63 t t = Source Age (mo) Treatment time (T) = Rx Dose / Dose Rate (t) *derived from departmental/vendor data S L I D E 9
11 GK Thalamotomy BED Model Construction Model Assumptions: α/β - Empirical data suggests α/β ~ 2 for CNS tissue λ = ln 2 τ τ Bi-exponential DNA repair half-times ( fast and slow components) Model range: τ(fast) = 0.1 to 0.7 h; τ(slow) = 2 to 6 h Most plausible scenario: τ(fast) =.38 h; τ(slow) = 4.1 h K.K Ang, Radiotherapy and Oncology, Pop et al, Radiotherapy and Oncology, Landuyt et al, Radiotherapy and Oncology, S L I D E 10
12 Results Change in Treatment Time (T) with Co-60 Source Age Tx time (minutes) TxTime Treatment Time Old source: 88 min (1.48 Gy/ min) New source: 43 min (2.99 Gy/min) Age of source (months) S L I D E 11
13 Results BED 0% -5% -10% -15% -20% -25% -30% -35% -40% % Decrease in BED with Cobalt-60 source age for 130 Gy thalamotomy τ f =.7, τ s = 6 τ f =.38, τ s = 4.1 * τ f =.1, τ s = Cobalt-60 Source Age (months) With new source replacement:** 15.6% relative increase in BED (range: 11-20%) *Using most plausible Tau assumptions. **with replacement after 63 months S L I D E 12
14 Conclusions Using biologically most plausible assumptions, Cobalt-60 source replacement causes a relative BED increase of ~16% for GK Thalamotomy, that then declines by ~3% per year over Cobalt- 60 lifespan Magnitude of BED change dependent on DNA-repair kinetics, timing of source replacement, initial source activity Co-60 source age and dose rate should be considered in the study and use of GK thalamotomy and other high-dose GK treatments S L I D E 13
15 Limitations / Next Steps Clinically correlated data needed Toxicity vs. efficacy Radiographic changes Practice changes? Prescription dose adjustment with Co-60 source age Prolong treatment time with selective collimation S L I D E 14

21 Biologically Effective Dose (BED) BED is an LQ based estimate of the effective biological dose that accounts for delivered total dose, the dose fractionation, and the radiosensitivity of tissue Commonly used for isoeffect calculations Recall = + 2 S( D) exp αd βgd γt Take the negative logarithm of S and divide by α : ln S( D) GD γt BED = D 1 α + α / β α Physical dose Relative effectiveness Lost dose due to repopulation effect S L I D E 20
22 BED in the literature This derived expression is more general than the commonly used BED formalism 1/n 0 GD γ T BED = ln SD ( ) / α = D 1 + α/ β α In the literature, repopulation effects are usually neglected and G is set equal to 1/n (appropriate for daily fractions), where n = number of fractions. d BED = D 1 + α/ β where d = dose per fraction (Gy) and D = total treatment dose (= nd).
