What is Intensity-modulated Arc Therapy for Treatment of High-risk Endometrial Malignancies about?
Purpose: We developed an intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) technique for the treatment of women with high-risk endometrial malignancies. In the context of multimodality therapy, nodal and tumor bed irradiation was delivered while respecting tolerance doses for critical structures. Methods and Materials: Five patients were planned and treated with the IMAT technique after hysterectomy. Computed tomographic (CT) scans for treatment planning were acquired with the tumor bed contoured as the clinical target volume (CTV tumor\_bed ) and the iliac and presacral vessels contoured as the gross tumor volume (GTV). In 2 patients the lower para-aortic nodes were included into the GTV. The small bowel, iliac crests, femoral heads, bladder, and rectum were contoured as critical organs. For the nodes, a CTV nodes was generated with a 7-10-mm margin around the vessels, and the planning target volume (PTV nodes ) was generated by a further 5-mm expansion. For the tumor bed, the PTV tumor\_bed was generated with a margin of 7-10 mm around CTV tumor\_bed . Planning constraints included adequate coverage of the tumor bed (>95% receiving >45 Gy) and nodes (>95% receiving >40 Gy). Arc combinations
