Popis: | To explore the feasibility of image-guided and respiratory-gated Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) in patients with very early breast cancer.Selected patients with early breast carcinoma after breast-conserving surgery were enrolled in this phase II trial. A fiducial marker was percutaneously placed close to surgical bed and five external fiducials were set on the skin. A CT scan for planning was acquired at free breathing. The treatment was planned and DVH were assessed according to international recommendations. Prescription dose was 30 Gy in five consecutive fractions of 6 Gy. A 6MV monoenergetic LINAC (linear accelerator) that combines stereoscopic X-ray imaging system and ExacTrac Adaptive Gating technique was used. PTV (planning target volume) intrafraction motion was controlled and PTV was irradiated in a selected gated area of the respiratory cycle. Shifts for a correct, gated set-up were calculated and automatically applied.Between April 2013 and October 2015, a total of 23 patients were included. The median tumor size was 12 mm. The mean PTV volume was 114 cc. The mean ipsilateral lung V9 Gy was 2.2% and for left-sided breast cancers, the volume of the heart receiving 1.5 Gy was 11.5%. Maximum skin dose was 30.8 Gy. Acute toxicity was grade1 in all the patients and 100% experienced excellent/good breast cosmesis outcomes. With a median follow-up of 66 months (range 8-99 months) local-relapse-free-survival reaches 100%. One patient developed a second breast cancer outside the treated quadrant after 25.1 months.APBI with SBRT and ExacTrac Adaptive Gating System was feasible. The acute and late toxicities were almost null and cosmesis was excellent. We also found that the margins of 5 mm applied from CTV to PTV were sufficient to compensate for geometric uncertainties. |
