Feasibility of gold fiducial markers as a surrogate for GTV position in image-guided radiotherapy of rectal cancer.
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics(2019)
摘要
Large interfraction errors of the COG and the fiducials relative to bony anatomy were found. Therefore, despite the observed fiducial displacement relative to the COG, the use of fiducials as a surrogate for GTV position reduces the required margins in the AP and CC direction for a GTV boost using image-guided radiotherapy of rectal cancer. This reduction in margin may be larger in patients with tumors located in the mid- and upper rectum compared to the lower rectum.
