Abstract

Background To investigate the role of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) compared to volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), realised with RapidArc and RapidPlan methods (RA_RP) for neoadjuvant radiotherapy in locally advanced oesophagal cancer. Methods Twenty patients were retrospectively planned for IMPT (with two fields, (IMPT_2F) or with three fields (IMPT_3F)) and RA_RP and the results were compared according to dose-volume metrics. Estimates of the excess absolute risk (EAR) of secondary cancer induction were determined for the lungs. For the cardiac structures, the relative risk (RR) of coronary artery disease (CAD) and chronic heart failure (CHF) were estimated. Results Both the RA_RP and IMPT approached allowed to achieve the required coverage for the gross tumour volume, (GTV) and the clinical and the planning target volumes, CTV and PTV (V-98% > 98 for CTV and GTV and V-95% > 95 for the PTV)). The conformity index resulted in 0.88 +/- 0.01, 0.89 +/- 0.02 and 0.89 +/- 0.02 for RA_RP, IMPT_2F and IMPT_3F respectively. With the same order, the homogeneity index for the PTV resulted in 5.6 +/- 0.6%, 4.4 +/- 0.9% and 4.5 +/- 0.8%. Concerning the organs at risk, the IMPT plans showed a systematic and statistically significant incremental sparing when compared to RA_RP, especially for the heart. The mean dose to the combined lungs was 8.6 +/- 2.9 Gy for RA_RP, 3.2 +/- 1.5 Gy and 2.9 +/- 1.2 Gy for IMPT_2F and IMPT_3F. The mean dose to the whole heart resulted to 9.9 +/- 1.9 Gy for RA_RP compared to 3.7 +/- 1.3 Gy or 4.0 +/- 1.4 Gy for IMPT_2F or IMPT_3F; the mean dose to the left ventricle resulted to 6.5 +/- 1.6 Gy, 1.9 +/- 1.5 Gy, 1.9 +/- 1.6 Gy respectively. Similar sparing effects were observed for the liver, the kidneys, the stomach, the spleen and the bowels. The EAR per 10,000 patients-years of secondary cancer induction resulted in 19.2 +/- 5.7 for RA_RP and 6.1 +/- 2.7 for IMPT_2F or 5.7 +/- 2.4 for IMPT_3F. The RR for the left ventricle resulted in 1.5 +/- 0.1 for RA_RP and 1.1 +/- 0.1 for both IMPT sets. For the coronaries, the RR resulted in 1.6 +/- 0.4 for RA_RP and 1.2 +/- 0.3 for protons. Conclusion With regard to cancer of the oesophagogastric junction type I and II, the use of intensity-modulated proton therapy seems to have a clear advantage over VMAT. In particular, the reduction of the heart and abdominal structures dose could result in an optimised side effect profile. Furthermore, reduced risk of secondary neoplasia in the lung can be expected in long-term survivors and would be a great gain for cured patients.
