Résumé

Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment options for patients with esophageal cancer; however, it has been linked with an increased risk of cardiac toxicities. In the current study, we evaluated the effect of planning the radiation in deep-inspiration breath hold (DIBH) on the dose sparing of cardiac substructures and lung. In this study, we analyzed 30 radiation therapy plans from 15 patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer planned for neoadjuvant radiotherapy. Radiation plans were generated for 41.4 Gy and delivered in 1.8 Gy per fraction for free-breathing (FB) and DIBH techniques. We then conducted a comparative dosimetric analysis, evaluating target volume coverage, the impact on cardiac substructures, and lung doses across the two planning techniques for each patient. There was no significant disparity in target volume dose coverage between DIBH and FB plans. However, the D Radiotherapy in DIBH could provide a method to reduce the radiation dose to the left ventricle and coronaries, which could reduce the cardiac toxicity of the modality.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment options for patients with esophageal cancer; however, it has been linked with an increased risk of cardiac toxicities. In the current study, we evaluated the effect of planning the radiation in deep-inspiration breath hold (DIBH) on the dose sparing of cardiac substructures and lung.
MATERIALS AND METHODS METHODS
In this study, we analyzed 30 radiation therapy plans from 15 patients diagnosed with esophageal cancer planned for neoadjuvant radiotherapy. Radiation plans were generated for 41.4 Gy and delivered in 1.8 Gy per fraction for free-breathing (FB) and DIBH techniques. We then conducted a comparative dosimetric analysis, evaluating target volume coverage, the impact on cardiac substructures, and lung doses across the two planning techniques for each patient.
RESULTS RESULTS
There was no significant disparity in target volume dose coverage between DIBH and FB plans. However, the D
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Radiotherapy in DIBH could provide a method to reduce the radiation dose to the left ventricle and coronaries, which could reduce the cardiac toxicity of the modality.
