      Abstract
      Background
      Radiation-dose delivered to circulating lymphocyte (CL) has detrimental effect on immune system for cancer patients. Our study established a model to compare the cumulative dose on CL of patients with conventional fractionation radiotherapy (CRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in lung cancer with different target volume.

      Methods
      The improved model is based on convolution algorithm suggested by Yovino(Cancer Investigation, 2013). The current blood DVHs of each organ were multiplied with treatment field DVH to generate original DVHs. During one second, 0.6% of whole-body blood circulates through each organ and rest body according to blood circulating pattern and then new DVHs of organ were generated. The new DVHs would be used for next second’s calculation with treatment field DVH. Conventional fractionated non-small cell lung cancer plan 60Gy (30 fractions*2.0Gy) and SBRT plan 50Gy (5fractions*10Gy) are constructed for three patients with different target volumes. The primary endpoint is peak cumulative blood dose (PCBC).

      Results
      PCBC of three patients with CRT and SBRT were calculated as Figure 1. PCBC with CRT to circulating lymphocyte (CL) were 2.5Gy, 5.6Gy, 9.5Gy in PTV-volume 17cm3, 33cm3, 120cm3, respectively. And PCBC with SBRT to circulating lymphocyte (CL) were 2.1Gy, 2.9Gy, 6.0Gy in PTV-volume 17cm3, 33cm3, 120cm3, respectively. PCBC gap of SBRT to circulating lymphocyte (CL) was decreased 0.4Gy, 2.7Gy, 3.5Gy in PTV-volume 17cm3, 33cm3, 120cm3, respectively.



      Conclusion
      An improved simulation-model was established, SBRT, compared to CRT, will lead to decreased cumulative dose on CL, which may cause less impact on immune system with the enlargement of PTV-volume.

      P1.14-40 - EGFR-TKIs May Sensitize Radiation Lung Damage in Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Based on Intensity Analyzing (ID 297)

      09:45 - 18:00  |  Presenting Author(s): Xingni Tang

      • Abstract

      Background

      To measure early radiographic changes of acute radiation pneumonitis after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and compare the differences between patients treated with and without the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs).

      Method

      Patients with SBRT with 3-month follow-up CT scans were eligible. 20 patients treated with EGFR-TKIs a month before stereotactic body radiotherapy (Target-SBRT group) were formed the primary study population. Another 20 patients received SBRT alone were selected from our SBRT data bank to serve as control, by matching dose prescription, tumor size and location. Pre- and post-SBRT CT scans from these 40 patients were registered to each other and the mean value of CT intensity (Hounsfield unit, HU) were extracted for regions of the lungs receiving the same dose at 10 Gy intervals to generate dose-response curves (DRC). The frequency of density changes>200 HU was modeled depending on the fractionation using a Probit model for different treatments.

      Result

      There were significant differences in the DRC of pre-SBRT, post-SBRT and the differences of HU value (△HU) in lung between the SBRT alone and Target SBRT groups (all P<0.050)(Figure 1). The respective dose for a 50% complication risk (TD50) for changes>200HU was 72Gy (95% confidence interval (CI 58-107) in SBRT alone group versus 52Gy (CI 46-59) in targeted SBRT group (Figure 2).

      Conclusion

      Compared to SBRT alone, targeted SBRT group has a lower TD50 and m value, both suggesting an increased complication probability of normal lung tissue.
