The uni- and multi-variate analysis showed statistical

significance for all parameters except lesion location

(table 1).

The high coefficient associated to the peripheral

character is probably due to the EPL un-modelled lateral

electron equilibrium caused by the prevalent presence of

low density lung tissues surrounding the peripheral lesion,

thus greatly impacting dose calculation differences. Based

on the multivariate analysis predictive nomogram was

generated (R²=0.58, Figure 1).

Dose to OARs calculated with EPL and MC showed strong

linear correlation (R²=0.99-1.00). The dose constraints

decreased by 1% in the heart (D10cc), great vessels

(D10cc) and spinal cord (D0.25cc), 2% in the oesophagus

(D5cc), 5% in the ribs (D5cc) and 16% in the trachea (D4cc).

.

Conclusion

The differences between MC and EPL are significantly

impacted by dose, tracking, location and the volume of

the lesion. Predictive nomogram helps to estimate the

differences on GTV D50. EPL to MC OAR dose tolerance

limit proved to have a strong linear correlation with

conversion factors ranging from 0.84 to 0.99. Based on our

model, re-prescription value can be estimated and, if

required, used to further restrict the constraints on the

OARs during EPL optimization.

Purpose or Objective

Proton therapy (PT) has been a standard for

treating choroidal melanomas for the last three

decades. However, PT is not easily available for the

majority of patients. Advances in photon therapy allow

highly conformal dose delivery while sparing normal

tissue. However, fSRS for small moving target volumes,

such as CM, has remained a challenge.

Material and Methods

Since December 2014, we treated 40 patients with central

choroidal tumors with fSRS. Radiotherapy plans were

obtained with iPlan® RT (Version 4.5.3, Brainlab,

Feldkirchen, D) after placement of 4 Tantalum clips

(Altomed Ltd., U.K.) a week prior the planning CT/MRT.

Thirteen cases have been reanalysed: ten treated with 10

Gy x 5 for CM, one case of haemangioma treated with 14,5

Gy in one fraction, and 2 cases of breast cancer metastasis

treated with 6 Gy x 5 and 4. iPlan® RT uses HybridArc™ as

field configuration with three to six dynamic conformal

arcs complemented with five to seven dynamic IMRT

fields. Treatment was delivered with a Novalis-

TrueBeam™ STx Linac (Palo Alto, CA, USA). IGRT was

achieved with ExacTrac® (version 6.0). ExacTrac®

documented the eye position before and after each

irradiation field.

Results

No local failure and no case of enucleation have been seen

at a median follow-up time of 329 days (range 98 –

678). Complications observed so far were impairment of

visual acuity in half of the cases, intraocular haemorrhage

(1 pts.), xerophthalmia (2 pts.), or keratritis (2 pts). The

minimal, mean, and maximal doses within the target

volumes were 86.3 (± 5.2)%, corresponding to V

95%

= 98.3

(± 1.4)%, 100.0 (± 0.4)%, and 103.4 (± 1.1)%, respectively.

The conformity index was 1.23 ± 0.16 and the homogeneity

index was 0.04 ± 0.01. Mean dose applied to the ipsilateral

eye lens, cornea, normal tissue of the involved eye, and

the lacrimal gland were 12.1 (± 17.7) Gy, 6.8 (± 11.5) Gy,

18.1 (± 9.2) Gy, and 10.7 (± 7.6) Gy, respectively. Maximal

dose of the ipsilateral optic nerve was 31.7 (± 15.9) Gy.

Doses delivered to the contralateral eye, lens, optic

nerve, and lacrimal gland were less than 0.6 (± 0.7) Gy,

0.2 (± 0.1) Gy, 1.3 (± 1.6) Gy, and 0.2 (± 0.1) Gy,

respectively. The doses given to the chiasma did not

exceed 1.3 (± 1.5) Gy; the pituitary gland 0.9 (± 1.4) Gy,

and the maximal dose to the brain did not exceed 11.1 (±

4.9) Gy. The ITV did not exceed 2mm.

Conclusion

HybridArc® in combination with peritumoral tissue

markers for image-guidance provides highly conformal and

homogenous doses distributions for the treatment of small

and moving target volumes.

Purpose or Objective

HYBRID (CRUK/12/055) and RAIDER (CRUK/14/016) are

two randomised phase II multi-centre clinical trials

investigating the use of adaptive 'Plan of the day” (POD)

bladder radiotherapy. In order to promote accurate POD

selection across multiple recruiting centres, a pre-accrual

assessment for adaptive plan selection was developed as

part of an IGRT QA credentialing programme (3

rd

ESTRO

Forum 2015-OC0564). The purpose of this study was to

establish whether the pre-accrual POD assessment is a

feasible QA process and investigate whether the POD can

be consistently selected by individuals across all recruiting

centres.

Material and Methods

Twelve bladder CT/CBCT image pairs were made available

to individuals to register according to protocol. Individuals

recorded the most appropriate POD selection from a

library of three possible plans and submitted to a central

QA group for review. In order to receive QA approval to

select the POD for HYBRID/RAIDER, individuals were

required to achieve an assessment score of ≥83% (10/12)

agreement with the expert consensus answers.

It was a pre-requisite of HYBRID and RAIDER that centres

already have an appropriate IGRT competency framework

for bladder CBCT in place prior to trial recruitment. The

assessment was first piloted for 10 centres recruiting to
