3 Disclaimer This presentation will mention equipment by trade name. This does not mean that I endorse the product but rather mention it because it is used at my facility.
4 Objectives of Presentation To review the evolution of head and neck planning at Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU) since To share basic contouring techniques of the head and neck area. To learn the planning approach of head and neck cancers at OHSU using static field IMRT, Varian RapidArc, and TomoTherapy. To identify similarities and differences between static field IMRT, Varian RapidArc, and TomoTherapy, for head and neck treatment plans.
5 I. Review the evolution of head and neck planning.
6 The Planning Evolution Evolution of Head and Neck Treatment 2005: Static Field IMRT Varian 21ex Pinnacle TPS Impac RVS 2007: Varian Upgrade Varian Trilogy CBCT Eclipse TPS Aria RVS 2008 paperless

10 Current OHSU Status Three options for patients with head and neck cancers
11 Current OHSU Status Most head and neck cancer patients are scheduled on TomoTherapy Approximately 100 HN patients treated each year Requires one TomoTherapy plan plus one backup plan of equal quality. Dosimetrist can choose RapidArc (VMAT), IMRT or both, for back-up plan. Physician will select the most appropriate plan for treatment Plan comparison Objectives Imaging Treatment time Machine work-load
12 Current OHSU Status From simulation to patient start date ~ 4-6 working days. Plan must be completed in dosimetry two days before the patients initial treatment. Dosimetrist Registers requested ancillary imaging; PET, MRI, CT Contours all structures in Eclipse; OAR and planning structures. All structures needed for treatment planning are contoured in Eclipse Physician Reviews the registration and OAR contours Contours the CTV and PTV volumes Generates the planning objectives form EPIC note or
13 Current OHSU Status Contours and CT dataset are exported to TomoTherapy, Pinnacle, or Monaco TPS for planning. Plans are generated simultaneously in TomoTherapy and Pinnacle. We are still learning the Monaco planning system. Physician evaluates completed plans Approves one plan for treatment Back-up plan will also be approved if TomoTherapy is the primary treatment Physics QA done on both plans

Align bilateral and anterior bb's on mask with anterior chest tattoo. Shoulders Avoidance contours with TomoTherapy plans. Couch kick ~15 degrees with IMRT beams that may enter through shoulders. Arc sections for shoulders with full arc rotations.
40 Miscellaneous Factors Back-up plans Required with patients treated on the TomoTherapy machine Machine down time Imaging challenges Physician approves both TomoTherapy and optional plan Both plans are printed and require physics QA and therapist verification Only one charge is billed for that case. Dosimetry work flow Simultaneous planning between TomoTherapy and optional planning systems One Dosimetrist can work on TomoTherapy plan while another works on the other plan.
41 Miscellaneous Factors Department Splitting work load between machines Imaging The Physician will factor in the imaging quality of the machine when deciding the treatment machine for the patient.

77 General Conclusions Non-TomoTherapy plans tend to run hotter overall Especially RapidArc RapidArc shares similarities to both IMRT and TomoTherapy depending on structure Middle child TomoTherapy contributes higher dose to cochlea and other structures above or below the PTV. Dynamic jaw upgrade is helpful for this.
78 General Conclusions Unilateral disease Better with static IMRT Sparing of contralateral neck 7 field beam arrangement Bilateral disease Better with TomoTherapy Conformality Maximum dose lower RapidArc is a beautiful plan but often the maximum dose is too high.
79 Situations We ve Experienced Patient switching between machines Dose tracking VelocityAI Composite Plans Adaptive planning Maintain the same treatment machine for consistency.
80 In Conclusion First we began planning with 9 field static beam IMRT And it was good, much better than 3D! Next we added RapidArc planning and we had options And often it was a better plan. Then we branched out and began TomoTherapy planning. Now we offer a well rounded option for the physician to evaluate. The end result is improved treatment plans for our patients. As of March 2015, we no longer run two plans. Instead, the Physician selects the treatment machine at time of simulation and we plan accordingly.
