Özet

Oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) comprises a group of various malignant tumours that grow in the throat, larynx, mouth, sinuses, and nose. The research aims: to investigate the performance of the OPC VMAT model by comparison to clinical plans in terms of dosimetric parameters and normal tissue complication probabilities. Purpose: Tune the model which at least matches the performance of clinical created photon treatment plans and analyse and find the most appropriate strategic plan scheme for OPC. Methods and materials: The machine learning (ML) plans are compared to the reference plans (clinical plans) based on dose constraints and target coverage. VMAT oropharynx ML model of Raystation development 11B version (non-clinical) was used. A model was trained by using different modalities. A different strategy of machine learning and clinical plans was performed for five patients. The dose Prescribed for OPC is 70 Gy, 2 Gy per fraction (2Gy/Fx). The PTV was derived for the primary tumour and secondary tumour, PTV+7000 cGy and PTV_5425 cGy volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) were used with beams performing a full 360° rotation around the single isocenter. Results: Organs at risk were observed that the volume of L-Eye in clinical plan (AF) for the case1 treatment planning could be successfully used ensuring efficiency and lower than MLVMAT and MLVMAT-org plans were 372 cGy, 697 cGy and 667 cGy respectively, while showed case2, case3, case4 and case5 are better to protect the critical organs in ML plan compare with a clinical plan. DHI for the PTV-7000 and PTV-5425 is between 1 and 1.34, While DCI for PTV-7000 and PTV-5425 is between 0.98 and 1.
