Abstract

Purpose : By analyzing seroma volume changes in the patients who underwent Partial breast radiation therapy after breast conserving surgery, we try to contribute to the improvement of radiotherapy effect. Materials and Methods : Enrolled 20 patients who underwent partial breast radiation therapy by ViewRay MRIdian System were subject. After seeking for the size of the removed sample in the patients during surgery and obtained seroma volume changes on a weekly basis. On the Basis of acquired volume, it was compared with age, term from start of the first treatment after surgery, BMI (body mass index) and the extracted sample size during surgery. And using the ViewRay MRIdian RTP System, the figure was analyzed by PTV(=seroma volume + margin) to obtain a specific volume of the Partial breast radiation therapy. Results : The changes of seroma volume from MR simulation to the first treatment (a week) is 0~5% in 8, 5~10% in 3, 10 to 15% in 2, and 20% or more in 5 people. Two patients(A, B patient) among subjects showed the biggest change. The A patient's 100% of the prescribed dose volume is 213.08 cc, PTV is 181.93 cc, seroma volume is 15.3 cc in initial plan. However, while seroma volume decreased 65.36% to 5.3 cc, 100% of the prescribed dose volume was reduced to 3.4% to 102.43 cc and PTV also did 43.6% to 102.54 cc. In the case of the B patient, seroma volume decreased 42.57% from 20.2 cc to 11.6 cc. Because of that, 100% of the prescribed dose volume decreased 8.1% and PTV also did to 40%. Conclusion : As the period between the first therapy and surgery is shorter, the patient is elder and the size of sample is smaller than 100 cc, the change grow bigger. It is desirable to establish an adaptive plan according to each patient's changes of seroma volume through continuous observation. Because partial breast patients is more sensitive than WBRT patients about dose conformity in accordance with the volume change.

목 적 : 유방보존술 이후 부분 유방 방사선 치료를 시행한 환자들의 치료 전후 장액종의 체적 변화를 분석하여 방사선 치료 효과 향상에 기여하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 ViewRay MRIdian System을 이용하여 부분유방방사선 치료를 시행한 환자 20명을 대상으로 하였다. 대상 환자들의 수술시 제거된 검체 크기를 구하고, 장액종의 체적 변화를 주(week)단위로 획득하였다. 획득한 체적을 바탕으로 나이, 수술 후 첫 치료시작까지의 기간, 체질량지수(BMI), 수술시 적출된 검체 크기 등을 기준으로 하여 비교하였다. 그리고 부분 유방 방사선 치료의 특정용적을 구하기 위해 PTV(=seroma volume + margin)를 기준으로 ViewRay MRIdian RTP System을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결 과 : 모의치료 MRI 촬영 후 첫 치료 시까지 1주일간 나타난 장액종의 체적 변화는 0~5%가 8명, 5~10%가 2명, 10~15%가 3명, 15~20%가 2명, 그리고 20% 이상이 5명 이었다. 가장 큰 변화를 보인 2명의 환자 중, A환자는 기존 치료계획에서 처방선량 100%의 용적이 213.08 cc, PTV는 181.93 cc, 장액종의 체적은 15.3 cc였으나, 보정치료계획에서 장액종의 체적이 5.3 cc로 65.36% 감소하면서, 처방선량 100%의 용적은 205.83 cc, PTV는 102.54 cc로 각각 3.4%, 43.6% 감소하였다. B환자는 장액종의 체적이 20.2 cc에서 11.6 cc로 42.57% 감소하였고, 이로 인해 처방선량 100%용적은 8.1%, PTV는 40% 감소하였다. 결 론 : 장액종의 체적 변화는 고령일수록, 수술 후 치료가 시작되는 기간이 짧을수록, 검체의 크기가 100 cc이하 일수록 큰 것을 확인하였다. 부분유방방사선치료 환자의 경우 전체유방방사선치료의 환자보다 체적 변화에 따른 Dose conformity가 더욱 민감하므로, 지속적인 관찰을 통해 각 환자의 장액종 체적 변화에 따른 보정치료계획을 수립하여 치료하는 것이 바람직하다고 사료된다.
