Abstract


Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer; however, with standard radiation doses, it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study, to increase tumor local control rates, a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP), was investigated. To compare 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans with DP for prostate cancer. Twenty-four consecutive patients with locally advanced prostate cancer who underwent an multiparametric-magnetic resonance imaging (MP-MRI) (T2w, diffusion weighted image, dynamic contrast enhancement, and MRS) scan before a diagnostic biopsy from September 2015 to April 2016 were invited to take part in this study. The tumor local control probability (TCP) values for 3D-CRT, IMRT, and DP techniques were 45, 56, and 77%, respectively. The DP technique had a 37.5 and 71% higher TCP than IMRT and 3D-CRT, and these differences were statistically significant (P=0.001). The mean normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) values of the organ at risks for 3D-CRT, IMRT, and DP showed that there were statistically significant differences among them in three plans (P=0.01). DP by contours using MP-MRI is technically feasible. This study evaluated biological modeling based on both MP-MRI defined subvolumes and pathologically defined subvolumes. The MPMRI- guided DP results in better TCP/NTCP than 3D-CRT and IMRT.
