Treatment of Mantle and Inverted Y Fields in Modern Era: A VMAT Approach
International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics(2023)
Abstract
VMAT based mantle fields for TNI eliminates Cerrobend blocks and improve dosimetry significantly for target volumes and all OARs; including bone marrow, which plays important role in patient's recovery after chemotherapy, radiation and often stem cell transplantation in recurrent disease. Lower integral dose for VMAT plans is explained by the large irradiated in-fields and small out-of-field volumes. The VMAT process requires minimal effort for optimization and is economical compared to the traditional planning, while improving the target coverage and decreasing dose to OARs.
