  • Purpose: To compare volumetric modulated arc therapy of RapidArc with robotic stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) of CyberKnife in the planning and delivery of SBRT for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment by analyzing dosimetric parameters. Materials and Methods: Two radiation treatment plans were generated for 29 HCC patients, one using Eclipse for the RapidArc plan and the other using Multiplan for the CyberKnife plan. The prescription dose was 60 Gy in 3 fractions. The dosimetric parameters of planning target volume (PTV) coverage and normal tissue sparing in the RapidArc and the CyberKnife plans were analyzed. Results: The conformity index was $1.05{\pm}0.02$ for the CyberKnife plan, and $1.13{\pm}0.10$ for the RapidArc plan. The homogeneity index was $1.23{\pm}0.01$ for the CyberKnife plan, and $1.10{\pm}0.03$ for the RapidArc plan. For the normal liver, there were significant differences between the two plans in the low-dose regions of $V_1$ and $V_3$. The normalized volumes of $V_{60}$ for the normal liver in the RapidArc plan were drastically increased when the mean dose of the PTVs in RapidArc plan is equivalent to the mean dose of the PTVs in the CyberKnife plan. Conclusion: CyberKnife plans show greater dose conformity, especially in small-sized tumors, while RapidArc plans show good dosimetric distribution of low dose sparing in the normal liver and body.

  • 의학의 발달과 더불어 종양에 대한 국소치료는 광범위근치술(extended radical surgery) 로부터 기능보존술(function preserving surgery)로 발달하고 이것은 다시 최소침습술(minimal-invasive surgery)로 발전하여 왔다. 그러나 최근 들어서는 기술의 혁신적인 진보로 비침습적수술법(non-invasive surgery)이 개발되어 감마나이프(gamma knife), 사이버나이프(cyber knife), 및 하이푸나이프(HIFU knife) 등이 출현하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 이들 중 하이푸나이프를 이용한 체외강력집속초음파치료(extracorporeal high intensity focused ultrasound therapy)에 대하여 발달사, 치료기 구조 및 치료과정, 조직학적 변화와 기전, 임상적용, 장단점 및 전망 등을 살펴보고자 한다.

  • CyberKnife is a stereotactic radiosurgery system which could be used to treat many tumors and lesions. It provides the surgeon unparalleled flexibility in targeting using a compact light linear accelerator mounted on a robotic arm. Advanced image guidance technology tracks patient and target position during treatment, ensuring accuracy without the use of an invasive head frame. CyberKnife with Dynamic Tracking Software is cleared to provide radiosurgery for lesions anywhere in the body when radiation treatment is indicated. It has often been used to radiosurgically treat otherwise untreatable tumors and malformations. Moreover, this instrument treats tumors at body sites, most of which are unreachable by other stereotactic systems. Compared with conventional radiotherapy, it is fundamentally different that using non-invasive, frameless, no excessive radiation exposure to normal tissue. In oral malignant neoplasm, surgical excision and radiation therapy should be tried first, additionally chemotherapy could be considered. However, after failure of conventional therapies, patients had poor systemic condition and surgical limitation. So, CyberKnife could be a suitable therapy. A 49 years man was referred in recurred mandibular cancer treated by radiotherapy. The tumor was considered inoperable, because of extensive invasion and was not expected to good response to conventional therapies. We experienced a case of CyberKnife after 4 cycle chemotherapies, so we report it with review of literature.

  • 목 적 : 치료 중에도 지속적으로 X-ray 영상을 획득하여 환자의 움직임을 보정하는 CyberKnife(Accuray Incorporated, USA) 치료 방식의 특성을 이용하여, 치료 중 환자의 움직임을 보정할 수 없는 경우 척추 전이암 정위적방사선치료의 적절한 치료 시간에 대해 고찰하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : CyberKnife를 이용하여 정위적방사선치료를 받은 척추 전이암 환자 57명을 대상으로 하였다. 그 중 경추 환자는 8명, 흉추는 26명, 그리고 요추는 23 명이었다. 치료 중 획득한 X-ray 영상을 종합하여 치료 부위 별로 분류한 후, 치료 시작 시간을 기준으로 5 분마다 구간을 나누어 시간에 따른 환자의 움직임이 어떤 양상을 보이는지 분석하였다. 결 과 : 경추의 경우, 회전 방향으로 15 분 이후부터 움직임의 증가폭이 커지기 시작하였다. 흉추에서는 특별히 움직임이 증가하는 구간은 없었으나 시간에 따라 점차적으로 증가하는 추세를 보였기 때문에 대략 40 분 이후 의미 있는 값이 나올 것이라 추정된다. 요추의 경우, 치료 시작 20 분 이후 수직 이동 방향과 회전 방향으로 움직임이 크게 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 : 치료 중 환자의 움직임을 보정할 수 없는 치료 시스템의 경우, 치료 시간은 경추의 경우 15 분, 흉추의 경우 40 분, 요추의 경우 20 분 이내가 적절한 것으로 사료된다. 만약 치료 시간이 이보다 긴 경우, 치료 중간에 추가적인 환자 정렬을 실시하거나 추가적인 PTV margin이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Objective : In recent years, CyberKnife has emerged as an important treatment modality in the management of pituitary adenomas. Treatment results after performing CyberKnife and the complications of this procedure are reviewed. Methods : Twenty-six patients with pituitary adenomas received stereotactic radiosurgery with the CyberKnife (CKRS). The follow-up periods ranged from 7 months to 47 months (mean$\pm$SD : $30{\pm}12.7$ months). The patients consisted of 17 with non-functioning adenomas, 3 with prolactinomas and 6 with acromegaly. The change in the tumor volume, visual acuity, hormonal function, and complications by this therapy were analyzed in each case. Results : The tumor control rate was 92.3%. Hormonal function was improved in all of the 9 (100%) functioning adenomas. Hormonal normalization was observed in 4 of the 9 (44%) patients with a mean duration of 16 months. In two patients (7.6%), visual acuity worsened due to cystic enlargement of the tumor after CKRS. No other complications were observed. Conclusion : CyberKnife is considered safe and effective in selected patients with pituitary adenomas. However, longer follow-up is required for a more complete assessment of late toxicity and treatment efficacy.

  • The authors report a 58-year-old woman with low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma primarily located in the right paravertebral area with extension to L4 neural foramen. The patient complained lower back pain with radiating pain along the posterolateral aspect of the right lower leg. She underwent subtotal surgical removal and Cyber Knife therapy. Diagnosis was made by strikingly characteristic microscopic appearance of a bland spindle cell sarcoma which contained numerous giant collagen rosettes and was also supported by immunohistological findings. The diagnostic image findings and literatures are reviewed and discussed.

  • Purpose: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) takes advantage of low ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ ratio of prostate cancer to deliver a large dose in few fractions. We examined clinical outcomes of SBRT using CyberKnife for the treatment of low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: This study was based on a retrospective analysis of the 33 patients treated with SBRT using CyberKnife for localized prostate cancer (27.3% in low-risk and 72.7% in intermediate-risk). Total dose of 36.25 Gy in 5 fractions of 7.25 Gy were administered. The acute and late toxicities were recorded using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group scale. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response was monitored. Results: Thirty-three patients with a median 51 months (range, 6 to 71 months) follow-up were analyzed. There was no biochemical failure. Median PSA nadir was 0.27 ng/mL at median 33 months and PSA bounce occurred in 30.3% (n = 10) of patients at median at median 10.5 months after SBRT. No grade 3 acute toxicity was noted. The 18.2% of the patients had acute grade 2 genitourinary (GU) toxicities and 21.2% had acute grade 2 gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities. After follow-up of 2 months, most complications had returned to baseline. There was no grade 3 late GU and GI toxicity. Conclusion: Our experience with SBRT using CyberKnife in low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer demonstrates favorable efficacy and toxicity. Further studies with more patients and longer follow-up duration are required.

  • 목 적: 로봇 사이버나이프에서 환자의 움직임에 의한 기준점의 위치변화 오차가 위치인식시스템(target location system, TLS) 을 통하여 targeting error값이 정확히 보정(correction)되는지 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 본 실험은 targeting의 정확성을 분석하기 위해 head and neck팬텀에 Gafchromic 필름(MD-55)을 삽입한 후, 사이버나이프(CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System G4, Accuray, US)의 6 MV X선을 조사하였다. 필름 분석은 Accuray사에서 제공하는 End to End (E2E) 프로그램을 이용하였다. 기준점의 위치에서 x, y, z방향으로 $0{\pm}0.2\;mm$, roll, pitch, yaw방향으로 $0{\pm}0.2^{\circ}$ 이내로 유지하여 12회 조사한 대조군과 인위적으로 움직임을 주어 실험을 시행한 6회의 실험군의 targeting 오차를 구하고, 대조군과 실험군의 평균값에 대한 유의성을 t-검정을 통해 분석하였다. 또한, gamma-index method (dose difference: 3%)를 통해 2차원적 선량분포의 일치성을 distance to agreement (DTA)를 각각 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm로 달리하여 정량화하고, 비교 분석하였다. 결 과: E2E test 시행 결과, 기준 필름의 targeting 평균오차 0.405 mm, 표준편차 0.069 mm, 실험 필름의 평균오차 0.413 mm, 표준편차 0.121 mm으로 나왔으며, t-검정 결과 유의확률 P=0.836 (신뢰구간 95%)으로 두 집단에서 유의한 차이를 볼 수 없었다. 또한, DTA를 각각 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm로 선량분포의 일치성을 비교한 결과 기준필름 3,314개 위치에서 axial필름 평균은 각각 95.04%, 97.56%, 98.13%, sagittal필름 평균은 각각 95.47%, 97.68%, 98.47% 일치하였다. 실험필름과 비교한 결과 3,323개 위치에서 axial필름 평균은 각각 96.38%, 97.57%, 98.04%, sagittal필름 평균은 각각 95.50%, 97.87%, 98.36% 일치하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결 론: 로봇 사이버나이프는 치료 시 환자의 움직임에 의해 발생하는 기준점의 위치변화 오차를 실시간 추적하여 보정하며, targeting 오차를 1 mm 이내, 선량분포는 95% 이상 일치하는 정확성을 확인할 수 있었다.
