초록

목적 : 자궁경부암의 방사선치료 시 3차원입체조형방사선치료(3D-CRT)와 세기조절방사선치료(IMRT)는 소장의 방사선 조사선량을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 소장전위장치(SBDS)는 골반강 내의 소장 용적을 감소시킬 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 SBDS를 사용한 3D-CRT와 IMRT 계획을 SBDS를 사용하지 않은 계획과 비교하여, SBDS의 소장 조사선량에 대한 영향을 평가하였다 대상 및 방법 : 자궁경부암으로 근치적 방사선치료를 받은 10명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 각 환자에 대하여 스티로폼 압박기구와 환자에게 개별적으로 제작되는 고정기구로 구성된 SBDS를 제작하였고, SBDS가 있는 상태와 없는 상태로 복와위에서 전산화단층촬영(CT)을 시행하였다 3D-CRT는 4-field box technique을, IMRT는 15 MV X-선 7 조사문을 이용하여 계획하였으며, 회전중심점에 50 Gy (25회 분할)를 처방하였다. 비교 분석은 SBDS의 사용에 따른 소장 용적의 변화와 네 가지 계획의 소장의 선량체적히스토그람의 차이를 10 Gy 단위로 paired f-test를 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과 : 소장의 용적은 SBDS를 사용하였을 때 평균 522 cm$^{3}$에서 262 cm$^{3}$로 49.8$\%$ 감소되었다. 10 Gy부터 50 Gy까지 10 Gy 간격으로 일정한 조사선량을 받는 소장의 용적은 SBDS를 사용하였을 때 3D-CRT에서65$\~$80$\%$, IMRT에서 54$\~$67$\%$ 감소하였다. 3D-CRT와 IMRT를 서로 비교하면, 20 Gy부터 50 Gy까지 10 Gy간격으로 일정한 조사선량을 받는 소장 용적은 SBDS를 사용하지 않은 경우에는 IMRT가 6$\~$7$\%$ 정도 유의하게 적었으나 SBDS를 사용한 경우에는 1$\%$ 이내로 차이가 없었다. 결론 : 3D-CRT와 IMRT에서 SBDS를 사용할 때 소장의 조사선량을 더 감소시킬 수 있었으므로, SBDS를 치료에 이용하면 소장의 부작용을 더 감소시킬 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose : In radiotherapy for cervix cancer, both 3-dimensioal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) could reduce the dose to the small bowel (SB), while the small bowel displacement system (SBDS) could reduce the SB volume in the pelvic cavity. To evaluate the effect of the SBDS on the dose to the SB in 3D-CRT and IMRT plans, 3D-CRT and IMRT plans, with or without SBDS, were compared. Materials and Methods : Ten consecutive uterine cervix cancer patients, receiving curative radiotherapy, were accrued. Ten pairs of computerized tomography (CT) scans were obtained in the prone position, with or without SBDS, which consisted of a Styrofoam compression device and an individualized custom-made abdominal immobilization device. Both 3D-CRT, using the 4-field box technique, and IMRT plans, with 7 portals of 15 MV X-ray, were generated for each CT image, and proscribed 50 Gy (25 fractions) to the isocenter. For the SB, the volume change due to the SBDS and the DVHs of the four different plans were analyzed using palled t-tests. Results : The SBDS significantly reduced the mean SB volume from 522 to 262 cm$^{3}$ (49.8$\%$ reduction). The SB volumes that received a dose of 10$\~$50 Gy were significantly reduced in 3D-CRT (65$\~$80$\%$ reduction) and IMRT plans (54$\~$67$\%$ reduction) using the SBDS. When the SB volumes that received 20$\~$50 Gy were compared between the 3D-CRT and IMRT plans, those of the IMRT without the SBDS were significantly less, by 6$\~$7$\%$, than those for the 3D-CRT without the SBDS, but the volume difference was less than 1$\%$ when using the SBDS. Conclusion : The SBDS reduced the radiation dose to the SB in both the 3D-CRT and IMRT plans, so could reduce the radiation injury of the SB.
