GP : FKUI, Radiologist : FKUI, Radiation Oncologist : FKUI / Muenster (Germany) PhD : FKUI, 1998 (EBV LMP1 and Proliferation in NPC) Current Positions : Chairperson of Indonesian National Cancer Control Committee (KPKN) President of Indonesian Radiation Oncology Society (PORI) President of Federation of Asian Organizations of Radiation Oncology (FARO) Past President of South East Asia Radiation Oncology Group (SEAROG)

2 Implementation of New Technologies in LMIC: 3D HDR Brachytherapy Soehartati Gondhowiardjo ICARO2, Vienna, June 20 th -23 rd, 2017

3 Introduction In 2011 Potter et al. reported the clinical outcome of the patients treated after the introduction of IGBT ( ) vs historical controls, showed : Significant improvement in local control at 3 years; % in stage IB/IIB, and 85 90% in stage IIB IV relative reduction of pelvic recurrence of 65 70% compared to their conventional results. Overall survival rates at 3 years were 74 79% for stage IB/IIB, and 45% for stage IIIB, significantly increased compared to their historical series, and rates of severe morbidity were reduced Other institutions which have published their first results also showed promising outcomes Potter et al., Radiotherapy and Oncol.,2011

7 Sensitivity Analysis... Note: The x-axis represents the difference in costs between 3D and 2D treatments. The y- axis is the difference in survival between 3D and 2D treatments. The X on the graph represents the baseline values. Area above the line slope represents that 3D image-guided brachytherapy is a favored strategy.

8 IAEA/RCA RAS/6/062 Supporting 3D IGBT Services 4 RTCs were held from 2012 to 2015, NTC in each country ( ) 121 RO and MP were trained at RTCs. Training materials were available at the IAEA website. Guideline Transition from 2DBrachytherapy to 3D High Dose Rate Brachytherapy was published. Number of hospitals which implement 3D IGBT have Courtessy increased of Prof in RCA Shingo MS Kato, (11% in PLCC 2012, for 19% IAEA in RCA 2015) RAS. 6/062

9 Objective To Improve regional and national capacities for brachytherapy services by implementing 3D-IGBT by To strengthen the ability of RCA Member States to use the modern technology and evidence-based guidelines. Participating countries AUL, BAN, CHA, IND, INS, JPN, KOR, MAL, MON, MYN, PAK, PHI, SIN, THA, VIE (15 countries) Expected outcomes 1. Ros & MPs in RCA MSs are trained in the knowledge and techniques 2. Treatment guidelines for 3D IGBT are developed among RCA MSs. 9

19 FARO Survey (2017): Challenges in implementing Brachytherapy 3D Lack of government investment Difficulty in accessing CT/MRI at BT Longer time to perform IGBT compared to 2D (2D: 5 pts, 3D: 2-3 pts) Lack of man power and training Higher workload for dosimetry/physics staff and physicians Additional cost for CT Scan for 3D brachytherapy (per session) Additional cost of an MRI prior to doing a 3D brachytherapy In some countries, health insurance doesn t cover the additional cost for 3D brachytherapy.

20 Survey Implementing 3D BT in Indonesia

21 Availability of 3D brachytherapy 3D Brachytherapy Source Development for 3D Brachytherapy in Indonesia 42 % (13/31) BT in Indonesia Iridium source 88% using Ir-192 source Cobalt source 2D vs 3D Brachytherapy centers in Indonesia Centers with 2D only BT equipment Centers with 3D BT equipment 81.25% centers with BT (13/16) in Indonesia are equipped with 3D applicator + 3D TPS

23 INVESTMENT HUMAN RESOURCE Survey Data (Summary) Difficulties in introducing 3D IGBT in the hospital Items Shortage of 3D BT Equipment (CT/MR applicator, TPS, CT/MR) IAEA RCA RAS6/062 FARO Survey 2017 Difficulties in accessing CT/MR at BT Lack of man power Higher workload TIME Longer time to perform IGBT COST Higher workload for dosimetry Additional cost of an MRI prior to doing a 3D brachytherapy In some countries, health insurance doesn t cover additional cost for 3D BT No OF PTS Small number of patients IROS Survey 2017 High demand BOT Training program Increase the number of HR Improve the system CT dedicated for BT Increase the number of HR Convinced the government to improve the tariff include the CT Cost sharing from the patients

24 Cost comparison of HDR Iridium vs Cobalt No Items HDR Iridium HDR Cobalt 1 Initial investment cost $781, $629, Maintenance cost $22,000-48,200 $22,000-37,000 3 Source (estimated for 10 years) $ 550,000 $ 110,000 4 Applicator set price $52,685 $7,185 5 Tariff for 5 year BEP $ $ Overall, HDR brachytherapy with Cobalt source showed a more costefficient, due to the less price for the cost of source replacement

25 Cost comparison of 2D vs 3D HDR Brachytherapy No Items Iridium Cobalt 1 Initial investment cost $781, $629, Maintenance cost $22,000-48,200 $22,000-37,000 3 Source (estimated for 10 years) $ 550,000 $ 110,000 4 Applicator set price $52,685 $7,185 5 Tariff for 5 year BEP 2D $555 $481 3D $925 $740 Cost difference 3D- 2D = ~ USD! Not included the additional cost for CT scan with/without MR imaging prior to BT 3D procedure! 3D HDR brachytherapy is more costly, but cost effectiveness could be better depends on clinical outcome and utility (use our own QALY gained threshold )
