1 Epworth HealthCare Epworth Radiation Oncology Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy versus Three- Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy; a retrospective study Emma Fitzgerald
2 Overview Literature search into Breast Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) Challenging Planning Target Volumes (PTV) Breast IMRT solution Critical review of technique Identify the clinical indicators Future direction of technique
3 History Radiation Therapy remains integral to the management of Breast Cancer (1-6) Dosimetric Improvements from Two-Dimensional to Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3DCRT) Are further improvements possible? Does IMRT have a role to play? If so, what are the indicators?
4 Literature Breast IMRT Retrospective studies question feasibility (1-3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11) Positives Improved Homogeneity Better PTV conformity index Ipsilateral Lung V20 Gy Integral Dose Negatives Heart Mean Dose Contralateral Breast Dose Increased trend to use IMRT for breast but no detailed specific clinical scenarios (Lisa, A 2011) IMRT is dependent upon technique (2, 6-7, 12)
5 Clinical Example Comparison of 2 different IMRT plans 6 FLDs Tan Approach Vs 9 FLDs ~30⁰ apart
6 Background Field-In-Field PTV based approach is standard Acknowledge IMRT is resource intensive Limited benefit to replace as standard (11) However, real role to specific clinical scenarios (7, 9, 13, 10) Internal Mammary Chain (IMC) Complex volumes close to Organs At Risk (OARs)
7 PTV & OAR
8 PTV & OAR
9 PTV & OAR Right Coronary Artery (RCA) Planning Risk Volume (PRV)
10 PTV & OAR 4.2cm
11 PTV & OAR Left Anterior Descending (LAD) Coronary Artery Delineation
12 The Clinical Decision Radiation Oncologist Driven Higher concern for IMC recurrence than Chronic toxicity LAD dose <30 Gy (14) RCA dose <35 Gy Application of Evidence Based Dose Constraints (14, 16) Extensive IMRT planning and treatment experience Collaboration with other sites

21 Results Isodose Range 47.5 Gy IMRT Vs 3DCRT
22 Results Isodose Range 47.5 Gy IMRT Vs 3DCRT
23 Results Isodose Range 25 Gy IMRT Vs 3DCRT
24 Results Isodose Range 5 Gy IMRT Vs 3DCRT
25 Results Dose Volume Comparison IMRT Vs 3DCRT IMRT (Gy) 3DCRT (Gy) Goal (Gy) PTV D 98% PTV D 2 % Right Lung V < 15% (7.5) Heart Mean < 5 Heart Max < 50 PRV RCA Max < 35 LAD N/A N/A < 30 Max Brachial Plexus < 52 Max Contra Breast Max < 5 *** Contra Lung Mean < 5
26 Results Dose Volume Comparison IMRT Vs 3DCRT IMRT (Gy) 3DCRT (Gy) Goal (Gy) PTV D 98% PTV D 2 % Right Lung V < 15% (7.5) Heart Mean < 5 Heart Max < 50 PRV RCA Max < 35 LAD N/A N/A < 30 Max Brachial Plexus < 52 Max Contra Breast Max < 5 *** Contra Lung Mean < 5
27 Discussion PTV depth to cover IMC is a challenge IMRT advantages over 3DCRT; Improved Conformity of dose to PTV Lower dose to most OARs. IMRT disadvantages over 3DCRT; Increased mean dose to heart and contralat lung Higher integral dose Accurate delineation of OAR required Pre & Post Contrast CT for LAD (RO)
28 Discussion Limitations of this study Comparison of only one 3DCRT approach???junctional electron technique Future Direction 11 patients treated with IMRT for breast cancer to date RapidArc and Respiratory Gating IGRT match results trend review Clinical use of breast drapes
29 Conclusion IMRT improves PTV coverage IMRT reduces OAR dose at expense of higher integral dose Wide field 3DCRT cannot achieve comparable results Careful selection of suitable cases is recommended IMRT has become the standard of care for complex breast cancer cases
