Objective To evaluate the role of equivalent uniform dose (EUD) in planning optimization of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer.Methods Ten patients with prostate cancer were randomly selected who treated with IMRT.For these patients,the treatment plans were designed with dose-volume objectives.Based on these plans,new plans were designed through replacing the dose-volume objectives with maximum EUD for rectum,bladder and small bowel,while keeping the dosevolume objectives unchanged.Comparison was made between the new plans and the former cones by paired t-test.Results The conformity index of planning target volume was better with EUD optimization compared to dose-volume (1.00 ± 0.04 ∶ 0.94 ± 0.04,t =3.80,P =0.04).The D53,D30 and Dicm3 for rectum was better with EUD optimization compared to dose-volume (24.4 ± 2.7 ∶ 25.5 ± 2.6,t =-3.82,P =0.004,34.1 ±4.3∶39.1±2.1,t=-3.80,P=0.004 and51.4±1.0∶51.8±0.9,t=-2.42,P=0.039),with V10,V20 for bladder and V10,V20,V30,V40 for small bowel also better with EUD optimization (92.2 ±6.2∶99.4±1.1,t=-4.28,P=0.002;70.7±5.7∶78.7±6.3,t=-3.10,P=0.013 and 62.2±30.2∶74.7 ±30.0,t =-4.18,P =0.002;34.3 ±26.3∶46.5 ±30.9,t =-5.46,P =0.000;17.1 ±17.0∶25.1 ±22.6,t=-3.52,P=0.007;10.6± 11.5∶ 15.6± 16.1,t=-2.64,P=0.030).Conclusions The conformity index of planning target volume is better with EUD optimization compared to dose-volume.And the dose to rectum,bladder and small bowel can be reduced through optimization with EUD optimization compared to dose-volume.

Objective To study the impacts of different applicators on dose distribution in 192 Ir brachytherapy. Methods The inner tubes of two cylinder applicators from Nucletron,#101?001 and#084?350, were made of plastic and stainless steel, respectively. The cylinder parts of them were made of plastic, and had four different radiuses:1?00 cm, 1?25 cm, 1?50 cm, and 1?75 cm. EGSnrc program was used to simulate dose distribution when applicators were present in a phantom, and the results calculated by the treatment planning system were compared with the results of EGSnrc. The impacts of applicators on dose distribution were analyzed with different materials, thickness, and numbers of resident source. Results There was no significant relationship between dose deviation and the radius for the two applicators. When an applicator was present, the actual dose delivered to a patient was smaller than the planned dose. The dose deviation of the applicator#101?001 was no more than 1%, while the dose deviation of the applicator#084?350 was close to 3%. The dose deviation remained the same when the number of resident source changed. Conclusions The plastic applicator, if possible, is the best choice for brachytherapy right now. In a long term, in order to promote the accuracy of brachytherapy, current dosimetry algorithm should be improved, and the impacts of the applicator made of metal, such as stainless steel, on dose distribution should be taken into account.

Objective To investigate the value of DNA-image cyt-ometry (DNA-ICM) in the diagnosis of urothelial cell carcinomas (UCC). Methods Totally 162 voided urine specimens (92 cases from urothel-ial car-cinomas patients and 70 cases from benign urinary system diseases patients ) were detected with DNA-ICM and liquid-based cytology (LBC), respectively. Results The sensitivity and specificity of DNA-ICM were 65.2%and 100% respectively in the diagnosis of UCC but those of LBC were 27.2% and 98.6%, respectively. The sensitivity of DNA-ICM was significantly higher than that of LBC in the diagnosis of UCC (P < 0.01). The sen-sitivity of DNA-ICM in upper urinary tract urothelial cell carcinomas (UTUC) were 77.1%, which was much higher than that in bladder urothelial cell carcinomas (57.9%) but no statistical significance was found (P >0.01). Conclusion DNA-ICM, which improves the positive rate of urinary cytology, has great application value in the diagnosis of urothelial cell carcinomas and it is an effective screening method for urothelial cancer in diag-nosis and follow-up.
