Purpose or Objective
Purpose of this study was to evaluate noninvasive eye
fixation system on CyberKnife-based stereotactic
radiotherapy (CK-based SRT) by the
planning and
treatment parameters in patients group suffering from
orbital’s tumors: ocular melanoma and orbital metastases.
Treatment plans for patients with orbital’s tumor
undergoing CK-based SRT are often challenging due to the
close proximity of optic apparatuses.
Material and Methods
Feasibility of the eye fixation system was evaluated in the
present study using data of 15 patients treated by 1 do 14
with median 5 fractions. The treated PTV volume ranged
from 0.73-37.59 cm
3
(median 2.83 cm
3
, mean 7.15 cm
3
, ±
SD 11.98). The prescription dose ranged from 20-50 Gy
with median value 50 Gy prescribed to the 80% isodose.
The eye fixation system was the polymetric device which
was attached to the mask system in cranio-caudal
orientation and placed in front of the diseased eye
(visualization of the system at figure 1 left). The patient
was looking at the black point placed at the arm of the
eye’s fixation system. The proper position of eye during
the imaging and treatment was fixed and the position of
the system can be easily adjusted and fixed to the suitable
position for any patients. The position of the system was
defined by CT and used during treatment delivery. CK-
based SRT of orbital’s tumors were evaluated by PTV
coverage, conformity index (CI), total number of monitor
units (MU), number of beams and the treatment time and
the maximum dose to ipsilateral optic nerve were likewise
to assess delivery efficiency.
Results
The optical fixation system was well tolerated by all
patients and the stable position of the eye was obtained.
The system can be used during planning and treatment
without any interference with the photon beam, doses to
the eye’s fixation system ranged from 0.03 – 3.71 Gy
(median 0.97 Gy, mean 1.15 Gy, ± SD 1.11). Figure 1
showed the treatment plan of one patient treated on the
CK-based SRT using the eye’s fixation system. Average
treatment parameters of 15 total orbital’s lesions (Table

Conclusion
The results of this study and good clinical outcomes
demonstrated the feasibility of the eye fixation devices
for CK-based SRT without the need of implementing
fiducial markers. Two years follow up reported that the
salvage therapy (enucleation) was unneeded in all cases.
CK-based SRT appeared to be a relatively safe technique
in treating orbital’s lesions within or near optic
apparatuses. CK-based SRT using fixation system provides
excellent tumor coverage without delivering excessive
dose to critical anterior structure and provided that the
dose to the optic apparatuses were limited. The long-term
safety of this treatment remains to be confirmed.
