  • Pain and mean absorbed dose to the pubic bone after radiotherapy among gynecological cancer survivors.
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: International journal of radiation oncology, biology, physics. - : Elsevier. - 1879-355X .- 0360-3016. ; 80:4, s. 1171-1180

    • PURPOSE: To analyze the relationship between mean absorbed dose to the pubic bone after pelvic radiotherapy for gynecological cancer and occurrence of pubic bone pain among long-term survivors.METHODS AND MATERIALS: In an unselected, population-based study, we identified 823 long-term gynecological cancer survivors treated with pelvic radiotherapy during 1991-2003. For comparison, we used a non-radiation-treated control population of 478 matched women from the Swedish Population Register. Pain, intensity of pain, and functional impairment due to pain in the pubic bone were assessed with a study-specific postal questionnaire.RESULTS: We analyzed data from 650 survivors (participation rate 79%) with median follow-up of 6.3 years (range, 2.3-15.0 years) along with 344 control women (participation rate, 72 %). Ten percent of the survivors were treated with radiotherapy; ninety percent with surgery plus radiotherapy. Brachytherapy was added in 81%. Complete treatment records were recovered for 538/650 survivors, with dose distribution data including dose-volume histograms over the pubic bone. Pubic bone pain was reported by 73 survivors (11%); 59/517 (11%) had been exposed to mean absorbed external beam doses <52.5 Gy to the pubic bone and 5/12 (42%) to mean absorbed external beam doses ≥ 52.5 Gy. Thirty-three survivors reported pain affecting sleep, a 13-fold increased prevalence compared with control women. Forty-nine survivors reported functional impairment measured as pain walking indoors, a 10-fold increased prevalence.CONCLUSIONS: Mean absorbed external beam dose above 52.5 Gy to the pubic bone increases the occurrence of pain in the pubic bone and may affect daily life of long-term survivors treated with radiotherapy for gynecological cancer.

  • Relative importance of hip and sacral pain among long-term gynecological cancer survivors treated with pelvic radiotherapy and their relationships to mean absorbed doses.
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics. - : Elsevier. - 0360-3016 .- 1879-355X. ; 84:2, s. 428-436
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • PURPOSE: To investigate the relative importance of patient-reported hip and sacral pain after pelvic radiotherapy (RT) for gynecological cancer and its relationship to the absorbed doses in these organs.METHODS AND MATERIALS: We used data from a population-based study that included 650 long-term gynecological cancer survivors treated with pelvic RT in the Gothenburg and Stockholm areas in Sweden with a median follow-up of 6 years (range, 2-15) and 344 population controls. Symptoms were assessed through a study-specific postal questionnaire. We also analyzed the hip and sacral dose-volume histogram data for 358 of the survivors.RESULTS: Of the survivors, one in three reported having or having had hip pain after completing RT. Daily pain when walking was four times as common among the survivors compared to controls. Symptoms increased in frequency with a mean absorbed dose >37.5 Gy. Also, two in five survivors reported pain in the sacrum. Sacral pain also affected their walking ability and tended to increase with a mean absorbed dose >42.5 Gy.CONCLUSIONS: Long-term survivors of gynecological cancer treated with pelvic RT experience hip and sacral pain when walking. The mean absorbed dose was significantly related to hip pain and was borderline significantly related to sacral pain. Keeping the total mean absorbed hip dose below 37.5 Gy during treatment might lower the occurrence of long-lasting pain. In relation to the controls, the survivors had a lower occurrence of pain and pain-related symptoms from the hips and sacrum compared with what has previously been reported for the pubic bone.

  • Image-based Data Mining to Probe Dosimetric Correlates of Radiation-induced Trismus
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics. - : Elsevier BV. - 0360-3016. ; 102:4, s. 1330-1338
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose: To identify imaged regions in which dose is associated with radiation-induced trismus after head and neck cancer radiation therapy (HNRT) using a novel image-based data mining (IBDM) framework. Methods and Materials: A cohort of 86 HNRT patients were analyzed for region identification. Trismus was characterized as a continuous variable by the maximum incisor-to-incisor opening distance (MID) at 6 months after radiation therapy. Patient anatomies and dose distributions were spatially normalized to a common frame of reference using deformable image registration. IBDM was used to identify clusters of voxels associated with MID (P <= .05 based on permutation testing). The result was externally tested on a cohort of 35 patients with head and neck cancer. Internally, we also performed a dose-volume histogram-based analysis by comparing the magnitude of the correlation between MID and the mean dose for the IBDM-identified cluster in comparison with 5 delineated masticatory structures. Results: A single cluster was identified with the IBDM approach (P < .01), partially overlapping with the ipsilateral masseter. The dose-volume histogram-based analysis confirmed that the IBDM cluster had the strongest association with MID, followed by the ipsilateral masseter and the ipsilateral medial pterygoid (Spearman's rank correlation coefficients: R-s = -0.36, -0.35, -0.32; P = .001, .001, .002, respectively). External validation confirmed an association between mean dose to the IBDM cluster and MID (R-s = -0.45; P = .007). Conclusions: IBDM bypasses the common assumption that dose patterns within structures are unimportant. Our novel IBDM approach for continuous outcome variables successfully identified a cluster of voxels that are highly associated with trismus, overlapping partially with the ipsilateral masseter. Tests on an external validation cohort showed an even stronger correlation with trismus. These results support use of the region in HNRT treatment planning to potentially reduce trismus.

  • A Systematic Post-QUANTEC Review of Tolerance Doses for Late Toxicity After Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics. - : Elsevier BV. - 0360-3016. ; 102:5, s. 1514-1532
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose: The aims of this study were to systematically review tolerance doses for late distinct gastrointestinal (GI), genitourinary (GU), and sexual dysfunction (SD) symptoms after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) alone and treatments involving brachytherapy (BT) for prostate cancer after Quantitative Analysis of Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic (QUANTEC) and ultimately to perform quantitative syntheses of identified dose/volume tolerances represented by dose-volume histogram (DVH) thresholds, that is, statistically significant (P ≤.05) cutoff points between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients in a certain study. Methods and Materials: PubMed was scrutinized for full-text articles in English after QUANTEC (January 1, 2010). The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials, case-control studies, or cohort studies with tolerance doses for late distinct symptoms ≥3 months after primary radiation therapy for prostate cancer (N > 30). All DVH thresholds were converted into equivalent doses in 2-Gy fractions (EQD2α/β) and were fitted with a linear or linear-quadratic function (goodness of fit, R2). The review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42016042464). Results: From 33 identified studies, which included 36 to 746 patients per symptom domain, the majority of dose/volume tolerances were derived for GI toxicity after EBRT alone (GI, 97 thresholds; GU, 8 thresholds; SD, 1 threshold). For 5 symptoms (defecation urgency, diarrhea, fecal incontinence, proctitis, and rectal bleeding), relationships between dose/volume tolerances across studies (R2 = 0.93 [0.82-1.00]), and across symptoms, leading to a curve for overall GI toxicity (R2 = 0.98), could be determined. For these symptoms, mainly rectal thresholds were found throughout low and high doses (10 Gy ≤ equivalent dose in 2-Gy fractions using α/β = 3Gy (EQD23) ≤ 50 Gy and 55 Gy ≤ EQD23 ≤ 78 Gy, respectively). For BT with or without EBRT, dose/volume tolerances were also mainly identified for GI toxicity (GI, 14 thresholds; GU, 4 thresholds; SD, 2 thresholds) with the largest number of DVH thresholds concerning rectal bleeding (5 thresholds). Conclusions: Updated dose/volume tolerances after QUANTEC were found for 17 GI, GU, or SD symptoms. A DVH curve described the relationship between dose/volume tolerances across 5 GI symptoms after EBRT alone. Restricting treatments for EBRT alone using the lower boundaries of this curve is likely to limit overall GI toxicity, but this should be explored prospectively. Dose/volume tolerances for GU and SD toxicity after EBRT alone and after BT with or without EBRT were scarce and support further research including data-sharing initiatives to untangle the dose/volume relationships for these symptoms. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
