Outcome measures
Primary outcome
1. Coverage of the PTV;
2. Dmean of the small bowel (mean dose in the small bowel);
3. V15 and V45 of the small bowel (volume of the small bowel which receives respectively 15 and 45Gy).
Secondary outcome
1. Dmean of the bladder, kidneys, sigmoid and, in case of gynaecologic patients, rectal wall;
2. V25, V30, V35, V40 and V50 of the small bowel (volume which receives respectively 25, 30, 35, 40 and 50 Gy).
Background summary
The aim of this study is to determine if in patients who are referred for pelvic irradiation, IMRT planning (in contrast to conformal 3D planning) gives the lowest dose to the small bowel without increasing the dose in other organs at risk (bladder, kidneys, rectum and sigmoid). In addition, we want to determine in which patients (postoperative endometrial and/or cervical and/or rectal cancer patients), according to dose volume histograms, irradiation in prone position is superior to supine position. For this, we need to make two, instead of one, consecutive CT-scans in prone and supine position respectively, and delineate on both scans the target organs as well as the organs at risk. Finally, we need to make four treatment plans for every patient, namely one IMRT plan in supine position, one IMRT plan in prone position, one 3D conformal plan in supine position and one 3D conformal plan in prone position and compare these plans with each other.
Study objective
IMRT treatment planning and irradiation in prone position can reduce the dose to the small bowel.
