1 Adaptive Re-planning for Lung RT with Multi-targets Feng Liu, An Tai, Ergun Ahunbay, Elizabeth Gore, Candice Johnstone, X. Allen Li Medical College of Wisconsin NCC AAMP, Madison, Oct. 11, 2013

2 Motivation: Lung RT w/ multi-targets Lung cancer: 2 nd morbidity(14%)/1 st mortality (27%) for cancer patients Inter-fractional variations affect accuracy of RT delivery Patient setup & anatomic variations (organ motion & deformation) IGRT repositioning to manage setup, intra-, and interfractional translation variations Disadvantage of IGRT: not fully take into account: organ deformation, rotation, relative motions between organs Leading to suboptimal target coverage and OAR sparing even for one target 2

3 Lung RT with Multi-targets Anatomy: 3D GTV contours in plan(red) and daily(brown) CTs Independent motion between different targets Target response to RT might vary: relative target volume variations More complex Online adaptive re-planning to account for interfractional variations 3

4 Online Adaptive Re-planning A full re-optimization ( >30 min) for daily treatment is too slow to be practical/qa requires intensive labor Fast re-planning methods: online adaptive to daily anatomy Workflow: min Approval MCW Image Acquisition via CT-on-Rails Contour generation (auto segmentation w/ manual editing) Dose/DVH evaluation and comparison 1 min 4 min Segment Aperture Morphing & Segment Weight Optimization 2 min New MLC transferred for treatment 1 min Medical College of Wisconsin Feng Liu 4

5 Method and Materials 7 lung cancer patients with two targets (either primary and nodes, or two independent lesions) treated with imageguided RT (CT-on-rail) 75 Daily CTs (randomly selected every consecutive few fractions) populated from the planning contours based on deformable registration (ABAS, Elekta) w/ manual editing Targets and OARs: GTV, CTV, PTV, lungs, heart, cord, and esophagus Quantities (daily and plan contours): Deviation of daily target displacement of the centers of masses (DCOM between two targets) from the plan: relative motion (non-zero Δ) 5

6 Method and Materials Dosimetry Original IMRT plan w/ Prowess panther General constraints: Three daily plans: PTV V100>95% cord Dmax<45 Gy V40Gy<100% Heart V45Gy<60% V60Gy<30% lung w/o GTV V20Gy<35% V5Gy<65% V35Gy<50% Esophagus V50Gy<40% V70Gy<20% 1. IGRT repositioning: copy of original plan unchanged (soft tissue) 2. Adaptive plan: tailoring the original plan to conform the anatomy of the daily CT 3. Re-optimization plan: new plan re-optimized based on the daily anatomy Same constraints as original IMRT plan applied for adaptive and re-opt plans. 6

7 Independent Target Motion Deviation of daily target DCOM from the plan 14 Range: (-10, 8) mm, mean: -0.7±4.5mm (SD), 30% fxw/ deviation >5mm Frequency Daily target DCOM deviation from the plans (cm) 7

8 Dosimetry: Adaptive vsrepositioning Adaptive: pt#1 (LT), better OAR sparing; pt#5 (RT) better target coverage & OAR sparing. 8

9 Dosimetry: Adaptive vsrepositioning Adaptive: better target coverage 9

10 Dosimetry: Adaptive vsrepositioning Adaptive: better OAR sparing 10

11 Summary There exist considerable independent motion between targets for lung RT w/ multi-targets. Online ART w/ organ and target deformation and relative independent motion taken into account maintains the Rx target coverage and provides better OAR sparing.
