Details and patient eligibility

About

The accuracy of radiotherapy can be increased by correcting for geometric uncertainties and changes between radiotherapy fractions. These corrections are currently done with online adaptive treatment on a specialized linear accelerator (linac) for a small subset of patients. However, patients currently treated on a standard linac could also benefit from online adaptive radiotherapy. The objective is to determine the feasibility of online CBCT-guided adaptive radiation therapy on a standard Elekta linac.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

General Inclusion Criteria:

• Patient, age ≥ 18 years, referred for a radiotherapy schedule as described in one of the cohorts.

Specific inclusion criteria for prostate cohort:

• Accepted for radiotherapy of the prostate and pelvic lymph node areas.
• Pathology-proven prostate cancer.
• cT1-4
• cN1 on PSMA-PET/CT or pN1 based on node biopsy, SN-procedure or lymph node dissection.
• cM0 on PSMA-PET/CT (except for patients with M1a disease who are still considered for radiotherapy of the prostate and pelvic lymph node areas).

Specific inclusion criteria for cervical cohort:

• Accepted for radiotherapy of the cervix (with or without chemotherapy) and pelvic lymph node areas (25 fractions, followed by either a brachytherapy or external radiotherapy boost).
• Pathology-proven cervical cancer.
• FIGO IIA2, IB3 and > 6cm, IIB-IVA or N+. Or other stage and unfit for surgery.
• cM0 or cM1 and accepted for locoregional radical (chemo)radiation in 25 fractions.

Specific inclusion criteria for bladder cohort:

• Accepted for radiotherapy of the bladder, either to the entire bladder or with a boost to the tumor area (with or without chemotherapy).
• Pathology-proven bladder carcinoma.
• cT1-4
• cN0 or cN1-2 after induction treatment (with or without lymph node dissection)

Specific inclusion criteria for lung cohort:

• Accepted for radiotherapy for lung cancer with lymph node metastases (with or without chemotherapy).
• Non-small cell lung cancer (either pathology proven or enough clinical suspicion to warrant radiotherapy to primary tumor and pathologic lymph nodes.
• cT1-4 and cN1-3.
• M0 or m1 and accepted for radical radiotherapy in 24 fractions of 1 or more lymph node metastases and a primary tumor and/or pulmonary metastases.

Specific inclusion criteria for head and neck cohort:

• Accepted for radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (with or without chemotherapy).
• Pathology-proven carcinoma of the pharynx, oral cavity or larynx.
• cT1-4
• cN0-3 and indication for elective neck radiation (either 1 or 2 sides).
• cM0

General Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who are pregnant.

Specific for prostate cohort:

• Patients with a medical condition that severely compromises CBCT image quality (mainly hip prostheses).
• Severe lower urinary tract symptoms that could make the longer treatment time problematic (according to judgement of treating physician).

Specific for cervical cohort:

• Patients with a medical condition that severely compromises CBCT image quality (mainly hip prostheses).

Specific for bladder cohort:

• Patients with a medical condition that severely compromises CBCT image quality (mainly hip prostheses).
• Severe lower urinary tract symptoms that could make the longer treatment time problematic (according to judgement of treating physician).

Specific for lung cohort:

• Severe pulmonary complaints that could make the longer treatment time problematic (according to judgement of treating physician).

Specific for head and neck cohort:

• Severe complaints that could make the longer treatment time problematic (according to judgement of treating physician).
• Pulmonary fibrosis

Adapt to rotation for prostate and elective lymph node irradiation

Experimental group

Description:

The CBCT will be matched (translated and rotated) to the original planning CT with the clinical image registration software. A new software (the rotation simulator) reads both the match of the bony anatomy and the match of the prostate. This software also imports the original planning CT and structures and deforms the original planning CT to match the rotations and translations of pelvis and prostate, as seen in the CBCT. Both these new radiotherapy planning structures and the deformed planning CT are exported to the radiotherapy planning software (Monaco) and used to calculate the adaptive plan. This newly calculated plan will be exported to Mosaiq to treat the patient.

CBCT-guided online adaptation for cervical cancer and elective lymph node irradiation

Experimental group

Description:

The CBCT will be matched (translated and rotated) to the original planning CT with the clinical image registration software. With in-house software, the target areas and the OARs will be deformed to or segmented on the anatomy of the CBCT. These adjusted radiotherapy structures are then send to the radiotherapy planning software (Monaco). There, the structures are visually inspected and, if needed, manually adjusted. Afterwards, Monaco calculates a new, online adaptive radiotherapy plan. After checking, the plan is exported to Mosaiq to treat the patient.

CBCT-guided online adaptation for lung cancer

Experimental group

Description:

The CBCT will be matched (translated and rotated) to the original planning CT with the clinical image registration software. The rotation simulator reads both the registration of the primary tumor and of the lymph nodes (via the carina). This software also imports the original planning CT and structures and deforms the original planning CT to match the rotations and translations of the primary tumor and lymph nodes, as seen in the CBCT. Both these new radiotherapy planning structures and the deformed planning CT are exported to the radiotherapy planning software (Monaco) and used to calculate the adaptive plan. This newly calculated plan will be exported to Mosaiq to treat the patient.
