Аннотация
Cutaneous involvement by Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is frequently diffuse, requiring large field irradiation. Selective tissue compensation techniques, accomplished with either a 1.5 cm bolus cast or water bath phantom, are compared. Dosimetric determinations were performed using 6 MVX with bone heterogeneity corrections. Application of 1.5 cm bolus effectively eliminated dose buildup and provided tissue compensation equivalent to water bath phantom technique. Treatment of other cutaneous malignancies, such as angiosarcoma, requiring higher total doses, should be accompanied by dosimetric evaluation, because cutaneous and midline dose inhomogeneity may result in a significant total dose differential over the target volume. Application of 1.5 cm bolus improved accuracy in treatment positioning, eliminated concerns regarding infection control in AIDS-related KS, and provided dose homogeneity comparable to the more standard water bath phantom technique.
