摘要:

目的 通过量化分析4种固定装置在前列腺癌放疗中的摆位误差,评估其精度差异并探讨影响因素,为临床选择最优固定方案提供依据。 方法 回顾性分析中山大学肿瘤防治中心2016年5月~2024年5月240例进行图像引导放疗的前列腺癌患者,按固定装置分为4组:1.2 m真空袋组、1.8 m真空袋组、Orfit架组和个体化俯卧板组,60例/组。所有患者每次治疗前行锥形束CT(CBCT)扫描,采用X射线容积成像仪(XVI)系统灰度配准获取RL、SI、AP三维方向的摆位误差。对所有患者进一步按有无淋巴结照射(各120例)、年龄(<65岁,n=80;≥65,n=160)以及BMI分层(BMI<24 kg/m²,n=120;BMI≥24 kg/m²,n=120)进行亚组分析。 结果 4组在三维方向的摆位误差差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。个体化俯卧板组RL(0.02±0.25)cm、SI(0.01±0.32)cm方向误差最小,但AP方向误差最大(-0.28±0.36)cm。淋巴结照射组在AP方向的误差(-0.22±0.36cm)高于无淋巴结组(-0.01±0.43 cm)(P<0.001)。BMI与SI方向误差呈负相关(R=-0.45,P<0.001),与年龄相关性无统计学意义(P>0.05)。 结论 个体化俯卧板在RL/SI方向的精度优势具有显著临床意义,但AP方向的系统误差问题亟待解决。对于接受淋巴结照射或BMI较低的患者群体,应当特别关注SI方向的摆位精度控制。本研究为前列腺癌精准放疗的固定装置选择和个体化治疗方案优化提供了更高级别的循证依据。

Abstract:

Objective To quantitatively analyze setup errors of 4 immobilization devices in precision radiotherapy for prostate cancer, their accuracy differences, and the factors affecting their setup precisions. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of 240 prostate cancer patients undergoing image-guided radiotherapy at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from May, 2016 to May, 2024. According to the immobilization devices used, the patients were divided into 1.2 m vacuum bag group (n=60), 1.8 m vacuum bag group (n=60), Orfit frame group (n=60), and customized prone board group (n=60). All the patients received pre-treatment cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans, and setup errors in the right-left (RL), superior-inferior (SI), and anterior-posterior (AP) directions were obtained through XVI system grayscale registration. Further subgroup analyses were performed based on patient stratifications by lymph node irradiation status (n=120 each), age (<65 years, n=80; ≥65 years, n=160), and BMI (BMI<24 kg/m², n=120; BMI≥24 kg/m², n=120). Results The setup errors differed significantly among the 4 groups in three-dimensional directions (P<0.05). The customized prone board group showed minimal errors in the RL (0.02±0.25 cm) and SI (0.01±0.32 cm) directions, but demonstrated the largest error in the AP direction (-0.28±0.36 cm). The patients with lymph node irradiation had significantly greater AP directional errors (-0.22±0.36 cm) than those without (-0.01±0.43 cm; P<0.001). BMI showed a negative correlation with SI directional errors (R=-0.45, P<0.001), while age was not significantly correlated with the setup errors (P>0.05). Conclusion The customized prone board demonstrates clinically significant advantages for its high setup accuracies in RL and SI directions in spite of its systematic AP directional errors. The setup accuracy in the SI direction is especially important for patients with lymph node irradiation or low BMI. Our findings provide quantitative evidence for immobilization device selection and individualized optimization of precision radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
