Abstract Aim: In radiation therapy, accurate dose distribution in target volume requires accurate treatment setup. The set-up errors are unwanted and inherent in the treatment process. By achieving these errors, a set-up margin (SM) of clinical target volume (CTV) to planning target volume (PTV) can be determined. In the current study, systematic and random set-up errors that occurred during prostate cancer radiotherapy were measured by an electronic portal imaging device (EPID). The obtained values were used to propose the optimum CTV-to-PTV margin in prostate cancer radiotherapy. Materials and methods: A total of 21 patients with prostate cancer treated with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) participated in this study. A total of 280 portal images were acquired during 12 months. Gross, population systematic (Σ) and random (σ) errors were obtained based on the portal images in Anterior–Posterior (AP), Medio-Lateral (ML) and Superior–Inferior (SI) directions. The SM of CTV to PTV were then calculated and compared by using the formulas presented by the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) 62, Stroom and Heijmen and Van Herk et al. Results: The findings showed that the population systematic errors during prostate cancer radiotherapy in AP, ML and SI directions were 1·40, 1·95 and 1·94 mm, respectively. The population random errors in AP, ML and SI directions were 2·09, 1·85 and 2·29 mm, respectively. The SM of CTV to PTV calculated in accordance with the formula of ICRU 62 in AP, ML and SI directions were 2·51, 2·68 and 3·00 mm, respectively. And according to Stroom and Heijmen, formula were 4·23, 5·19 and 5·48 mm, respectively. And Van Herk et al. formula were 4·96, 6·17 and 6·45 mm, respectively. Findings: The SM of CTV to PTV in all directions, based on the formulas of ICRU 62, Stroom and Heijmen and van Herk et al., were equal to 2·73, 4·98 and 5·86 mm, respectively; these values were obtained by averaging the margins in all directions.

TÓM TẮT Đối với ung thư vú (UTV) xạ trị là điều trị bổ túc cần thiết giúp giảm tái phát tại chỗ tại vùng, gia tăng sống còn. Tuy nhiên, xạ trị có tác dụng phụ lên tim mạch nhất là với UTV trái. Nhiều nghiên cứu đã chứng minh biến chứng và tử vong do tim mạch tăng tỉ lệ thuận với liều trung bình lên tim. Các kỹ thuật xạ trị mới trong xạ trị ung thư vú trái giúp tối ưu hóa liều vào thể tích xạ và bảo vệ tốt hơn cơ quan lành, càng đòi hỏi độ chính xác cao khi đặt bệnh. Các sai số do thiết bị hoặc đặt bệnh sẽ dẫn đến nguy cơ quá liều dung nạp hoặc thiếu liều và có nguy cơ tái phát. Vì vậy, xạ trị đòi hỏi sự chính xác cao trong suốt quá trình từ mô phỏng đến lập kế hoạch và tiến hành xạ trị. Xạ trị ung thư vú trái phối hợp hít sâu nín thở (DIBH - Deep Inspiration Breath - hold) và hệ thống quản lý bề mặt quang học (OSMS - Optical Surface Management System) làm cho tim di chuyển ra xa hơn khỏi vú, thành ngực trong quá trình xạ trị, giúp giảm liều tim một cách rõ rệt, vẫn đảm bảo được liều xạ lên thể tích đích. Ưu điểm của OSMS ngoài áp dụng cho đặt bệnh nhanh không cần xăm dấu trên da còn giám sát thời gian thực trong toàn bộ quá trình điều trị. Khi nhịp thở của bệnh nhân vượt quá một ngưỡng nhất định (0,3cm) chùm tia bức xạ sẽ bị tắt để ngăn ngừa độc tính. Do đó, hiểu và nắm rõ lợi ích quy trình đặt bệnh giúp đạt mục tiêu điều trị đồng thời giảm thời gian đặt bệnh để người bệnh có tâm lý thoải mái hơn, giảm áp lực về số lượng bệnh, nhất là đối với các trung tâm xạ trị lớn. ABSTRACT BENEFITS OF LEFT BREAST CANCER RADIATION COMBINATION OF DEEP INSPIRATION BREATH - HOLD AND OPTICAL SURFACE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF TRUEBEAM MACHINE AT CANCER HOSPITAL HO CHI MINH CITY Background: For breast cancer, radiation therapy is an essential adjuvant treatment to help reduce local recurrence and increase survival. However, radiation therapy has adverse effects on the cardiovascular systemespecially for left breast cancer. Several studies have demonstrated that cardiovascular morbidity and mortality increase in proportion to the mean cardiac dose. New radiotherapy techniques in radiation therapy for left breast cancer help optimize dose to radiation volume and better protect healthy organs, which requires high accuracy when patient set - up. Errors due to equipment or patient set - up will lead to the risk of overdosage or underdosage and risk of relapse. Therefore, radiation therapy requires high precision throughout the process from simulation to planning and conducting radiation therapy. Radiation therapy for left breast cancer combined with Deep Inspiration Breath - hold (DIBH) and Optical Surface Management System (OSMS)causes the heart to move further away from the breast and chest wall during radiation therapy, helping to reduce the cardiac dose significantly, still ensuring the radiation dose to the target volume. The advantage of OSMS is that in addition to being applied for fastpatient set - up, without tattooing on the skin, it also provides real - time monitoring during the entire treatment process. When the patient’s breathing rate exceeds a certain threshold (0,3cm) the radiation beam is turned off to prevent toxicity. Therefore, understanding and understanding the benefits of patient set - up helps to achieve treatment goals, while reducing patient set - up time for more comfort, reducing pressure on the number of patients, especially for patients large radiotherapy center.

ABSTRACT A 7 yr old female pit bull terrier was presented for a cervical soft tissue swelling located in the left jugular region. No abnormalities were present at physical examination or in the laboratory workup. Computed tomography and MRI scans showed a well-defined, ovoid, single mass in the left dorsal cervical region connected to the common carotid artery, histologically consistent with carotid body paraganglioma. The mass was surgically resected. Frameless stereotactic body radiation therapy with volumetric modulated arc therapy was set up as adjuvant treatment. After radiation therapy, systemic chemotherapy with carboplatin was started. During the first yr of follow-up, acute grade I dermatitis and grade I left-side laryngeal mucositis were recognized. One yr after radiation therapy, no signs of late radiotoxicity or tumor recurrence were observed. Grade I thrombocytopenia concurrent with chemotherapy was observed. This is the first reported case of a carotid body paraganglioma treated by multimodal therapy, with surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Stereotactic body radiation therapy with volumetric modulated arc therapy treatment after surgery provided excellent disease control and was well tolerated with slight side effects.
