Objective:The aim of our study was to investigate the value of CT/CT image fusion radiation treatment planning in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and the impact on V20 and radiation pneumonitis(RP).Methods:Patients ...Objective:The aim of our study was to investigate the value of CT/CT image fusion radiation treatment planning in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and the impact on V20 and radiation pneumonitis(RP).Methods:Patients who were pathologically or cytologically diagnosed of stage IIIA and IIIB NSCLC were treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy(4000 cGy).Forty patients got at least 25% tumor reduction were randomly divided into two groups:group A of regular shrink field radiotherapy(20 cases) and group B of CT/CT image fused shrink field radiotherapy(20 cases).Dosage reached 6600 cGy.Clinical data,V20 and RP were observed within 3 months after radiotherapy.Statistical analysis was conducted for the NSCLC patients.Results:22.5%(9/40) patients got RP during follow-up.Group A accounted for 6 cases(30%),and group B had 3 cases(15%).There was no marked difference between the two groups(P = 0.256),univariate analysis revealed that the IV20 of A and B groups,and IV20 and CV20 of all patients were statistically related to the incidence of RP(P < 0.05).With Wilcoxon method assay,the ipsilateral lung V20 and contralateral lung V20 had statistical significance between the two groups(P < 0.05).Conclusion:The CT/CT image infusion treatment planning could increase the radical dosage with better tumor control probability but won't increase adverse reaction.展开更多
