Abstract:
Objective To identify clinical and dosimetric parameters from dose-volume histogram(DVH) relating with incidence of severe acute radiation-induced esophagitis(RE)in patients with non-small cell lung can-cer(NSCLC)underwent tomotherapy with concurrent or sequential chemotherapy. Methods Records about clini-cal information and treatment plan parameters from DVH of 62 NSCLC patients treated with tomotherapy were pro-spectively collected to assess the correlation to severe acute RE from January 2012 to December 2016. Results There were 24.2%patients developed grade 3 RE,grade 4 or 5 in 0%patients. Multivariate analysis indicated that concurrent chemotherapy,esophagus median dose and esophagus V25 and V55 were the influencing factors of RE. The incidence of low frequencies RE was correlated with sequential chemotherapy ,esophagus median dose < 49 Gy,esophagus V25 < 64% ,V55 < 33% and V60 < 15%. Conclusions For NSCLC patients treated with tomo-therapy and chemotherapy,the occurrence of acute RE was similar to that of other techniques. It is recommended to balance such parameters for optimizing treatment planning.
