3 Overview CyberKnife utilization at Erlanger Lung Optimized Treatment (LOT) basics Erlanger workflow Sim Planning Treatment Outcomes Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

4 Erlanger Beginnings First center to purchase LOT Bundled with CK VSI system 1 st patient in April 2011 LOT installed in August 2011 Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

5 Erlanger Beginnings Why fiducial free? 5-10% risk for Pneumothorax Bleeding, infection, etc. Complicated tracking Migration, spacing, etc. Additional cost Delay of treatment Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

8 LOT Basics A B Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

9 LOT vs. fiducial tracking 1 CT with fiducial, 2 CTs with LOT inhale and exhale Multiple tracking options with LOT that reduce PTV size from standard MIP Less reliance on criteria-based decisions, more on real-time imaging Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

10 4 LOT Tracking Options 2-view (Xsight Lung) Tracks tumor density instead of fiducials, robot breathes with patient 0-view (Xsight Spine) ITV based on tumor excursion Similar to MIP-based 1-view A, 1-view B Expands ITV only in blind view Robot breathes Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

43 Clinical Outcomes and 3 Year Follow-Up Data Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

44 3 Year Follow-Up Data 121 patients treated from April 2011 through October 2014; 44% male and 56% female Patient age ranged from years(mean: 74) Median follow-up was 10 months(range: 1-41) Tumor volume ranged from 0.4cc to 63.9cc, only one over 5cm in size; T1a=59pts, T1b=36pts, T2a=25pts,T2b=1pt. Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

45 3 Year Follow-Up Data A median dose of 54 Gy(45-60 Gy) delivered over 4 fractions(3-5 fractions) every other day Tumor control based on Kaplan-Meier analysis was 96.7% with 4 failures out of the total Overall survival was 47% at 36 months Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

46 3 Year Follow-Up Data 96.7% overall local control Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

47 3 Year Follow-Up Data Not statistically sig only 4 local failures Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

48 3 Year Follow-Up Data 47% overall survival Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

49 3 Year Follow-Up Data Only 10 months median follow-up Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

50 Pulmonary Function 1 year of PFTs show no detriment to lung function after LOT Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

51 Adverse effect risk models Chestwall risk model 10% risk = 47Gy Shows typical tolerance of 30cc < 30 Gy is conservative D70cc Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

52 Conclusion At Erlanger, the LOT system provides target accuracy and treatment effectiveness for early stage NSCLC without the use of fiducials. Fiducial-Free Lung SBRT with CyberKnife

55 Discuss blocking and other structures used for IMRT and 3D planning Discuss IMRT and 3D Planning with integrated boost Explore helpful tips and tricks, along with concerns for 3D Helical breast treatment planning

56 DLV: Dose Limiting Volume (extra structure) Directional Block: A block that will not allow beam to pass through it before it reaches the target. It will allow beam to pass through it after it has passed through the target Complete Block: A block that will not allow any beam to pass through it from any direction. Modulation Factor: The amount of Leaf movement allowed during treatment Pitch: The amount of overlap of each helical rotation (Lower Pitch = More overlap) Transitional Dose: The area where the dose changes from one amount to another.

57 For Breast: Pull PTV off of the skin surface by 3mm (This helps decrease skin reactions) For Chestwall: Pull PTV off of the skin surface by 2mm, or if higher skin dose is desired then leave it at skin surface For Integrated Boost: Leave a 5 mm gap between boost volume and breast target. This can help achieve a more homogenous dose throughout each target volume. Create 2 rings (inner and outer) Inner ring is 5 mm and stops at skin surface Outer ring is 1 cm and also stops at skin surface

58 Inferior DLV follows the inside of the rib cage below the lung. Superior DLV fills in the Mediastinum above the heart Block (Complete block) is a C shape from middle of contralateral breast around and into ipsilateral lung. Lateral DLV covers the area between the rings and the block laterally Medial DLV covers the area between the rings and the contralateral breast **The goal is to have all of the patient anatomy around the treatment area included in some type of contour These smaller contours give more control than just simply using the body as one big contour

67 Work on lowering the dose to 2 or 3 structures at a time not all at once Use a modulation factor around 2.6 to start and increase or decrease it in increments of.2 as needed (I don t go any higher than 3.0) For better low dose DVHs, use a complete block It will lengthen the time, but the low dose areas do look better

68 Same PTV guidelines as IMRT For Breast: Pull PTV off of the skin surface by 3mm For Chestwall: Pull PTV off of the skin surface by 2mm, or if higher skin dose is desired then leave it at skin surface For Integrated Boost: Leave a 5 mm gap between boost volume and breast target. This can help achieve a more homogenous dose throughout each target volume

69 Block (Complete) follows inside of ribcage while staying 3 cm off of PTV Breast block (Directional block) Stays about 3.5 cm from medial border of breast Heart block (Complete) Mostly to block the left ventricle Direct block (Directional) Connects the breast block to the block

75 Play with the design and location of your blocks Push blocks closer or pull them farther away Add or delete from the superior end Shrink the block on the superior end If you do not like the way the integrated boost looks, delete the block 1 cm above the boost volume to 1 cm below (leave the other blocks in place) The lung dose will increase a little, but the isodoses will conform better to the boost volume Bust out your inner child and get creative Blocks don t have to be created within the patient

76 3D Rt Breast Contralateral breast: V20 = 3, V5 = 40 Total lung: V20 = 11, V5 = 35 IMRT Lt Breast Contralateral breast: V20 = 3.5, V5 = 34 Total lung: V20 = 7, V5 = 30

77

78 3D Chestwall plans are very similar to 3D Breast plans with blocking The difference is that there is no breast tissue for the dose to smooth out in, and the border of the chestwall PTV (at least for us) goes right to the lung interface This creates a problem with trying to keep lung doses to an acceptable level while still giving the prescribed dose to the PTV

79 To make an acceptable plan, there has to be some compromise in order to keep the lung dose, heart dose, and contralateral breast dose to an acceptable level What are you willing to compromise on? What is more important to you? PTV Coverage? Lung dose? Heart dose? Contralateral breast dose? Lunch?

89 With good planning and the proper blocks, TomoTherapy does a great job in treating Breast cancer By pulling the PTV off of the skin, we see less skin reactions. We see redness, but very few cases of any type of desquamation If insurance will allow, IMRT plans definitely look better, but a very good plan can be achieved with 3D
