Abstract

Underwent on modified radical mastectomy(MRM) and radiation therapy, it affects increasing rates of chronic morbidity, because of including chest wall and internal mammary nodes(IMNs). It causes the high absorbed dose on heart and ipsilateral lung. Thus in this study, we compared dose distributions through utilizing the intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) and the volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT). We selected 10 breast cancer patients at random who took MRM and radiation therapy. Treatment plannings were done by using IMRT and VMAT from each patient ranging supraclavicular lymphnodes(SCL) and IMNs. After that we analysed the planning target volume(PTV)'s conformity and absorbed doses on heart and lungs. As a results, PTV conformities were indicated the same patten(p<0.05) in both plans. In case of Lt breast cancer patients, the dose maximum regions of the heart were more lesser in VMAT technique rather than the IMRT(p<0.05). Also, the maximum dose areas of lungs were lesser in VMAT technique rather than the IMRT(p<0.05). Therefore, it would be safe to say that it is more effective way to adapt the VMAT technique than IMRT in such cases like involve IMNs in breast cancer patients.

전유방절제술을 시행하고 방사선치료시 조사야에 흉벽과 IMNs이 포함되어 심장과 동측 폐에 고선량의 방사선이 흡수되어 만성이환율에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전유방절제술을 시행한 유방암 환자의 방사선 치료시 IMRT와 VMAT 기법을 이용하여 선량분포양상을 비교하고자 한다. 유방암 진단을 받고 전유방절제술과 방사선 치료를 시행 받은 환자 중 PTV내에 IMNs가 포함되는 10명의 환자를 선택하여 환자의 흉벽조직, SCL, IMNs을 포함하여 각각 IMRT와 VMAT를 이용하여 치료계획을 실시한 후 PTV의 일치성과 심장 및 폐에 입사되는 선량을 서로 비교하고자 하였다. 그 결과 IMRT와 VMAT에서 모두 PTV의 일치성은 동일 양상(p<0.05)을 보였으며, 좌측유방암 환자인 경우 심장의 고선량 영역은 VMAT이 더 적은 체적으로 관찰(p<0.05)되었다. 폐선량의 경우 IMRT 보다 VMAT시 선량이 더 적게 관찰(p<0.05)되었다. IMNs을 포함하여 치료하는 경우 VMAT가 IMRT보다 방사선 치료 효율이 높을 것으로 사료된다.
