AIMS: Uterocervical motions and organ filling during cervical cancer conformal radiotherapy is complex. This prospective, observational study investigated set-up margins (clinical target vo, ume [CTV] to planning target volume [PTV]) for pelvic nodal CTV and internal margin (CTV to internal target volume [ITV]) expansions for uterocervical movements during cervical cancer radiotherapy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: During cervical cancer radiotherapy, a daily kilovoltage, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan was acquired. Bony anatomy-based rigid co-registration and matching to vessels/pelvic nodal region was carried out to document shifts, errors (systematic and random) and to calculate CTV to PTV margins. Subsequently, soft-tissue matching was carried out at the mid-cervical region and uterine fundus to record shifts, errors and to calculate CTV to ITV margins.
RESULTS: In 67 patients, 1380 CBCT scans were analysed. The mean (±standard deviation) couch shifts for CTV pelvic nodal region in all directions were within 4.5-5.3 mm, systematic and random errors 3.0-3.6 mm and set-up margins of within 10 mm (except anterior margin 10.3 mm). For the mid-cervical region, mean shifts were 4.5-5.5 mm, systematic and random errors 2-4 mm amounting to <10 mm internal margins (CTV-ITV for cervix) and for uterine fundus mean (±standard deviation) shifts were larger in the superior direction (12.1 mm) but 4.0-7.5 mm in other directions, systematic and random errors 2-7 mm amounting to anisotropic margins in various directions (10 mm in anterior-posterior and lateral directions, 12-20 mm in superior-inferior directions) (CTV-ITV for uterine fundus).
CONCLUSION: Our study suggests anisotropic CTV to ITV and CTV to PTV margins for cervical cancer radiotherapy.
