A Dosimetric Comparison of 3D-CRT, IMRT, and SAVI HDR via NTCP/TCP and DVH Analysis of Critical Organs for Breast Cancer

Unknown Date (has links)
Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) is a common treatment of breast cancer with many modalities including 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT), Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), and High Dose Rate Brachytherapy (HDR). In this research, a retrospective analysis of patient’s data was performed to analyze the NTCP/TCP (Normal Tissue Complication Probability/Tumor Control Probability) and Dose Volume Histogram (DVH) parameters for HDR with SAVI, 3D, and IMRT and compare them focusing on critical organs such as the heart, ipsilateral lung, chest wall, ribs, and skin. TCP was 90.275%, 55.948%, and 53.369% for HDR, 3D, and IMRT respectively. The ribs were the most sensitive critical organ for all 3 modalities with a mean NTCP of 8%, 15%, and 8% for HDR, 3D, and IMRT respectively. DVH analysis showed HDR spares critical organs more than EBRT except for 2 patients receiving high doses to the ribs and chest wall. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2019. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
