Assessment of secondary cancer risks within non-target organs during proton therapy for lung cancer: A Monte Carlo study
Proton therapy is a rapidly progressing modality with a significant impact on lung cancer treatment. However, there are concerns about the subsequent effects of secondary radiation in out-of-field organs. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the risk of subsequent secondary cancers within non-target organs during proton therapy for lung cancer. A Monte Carlo model of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) 110 male phantom was employed to calculate the absorbed dose associated with secondary photons and neutrons within out-of-field organs for different tumor locations. The risk of induced secondary cancers was then estimated using the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation Committee (BEIR) VII and National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) 116 risk models. Organs close to the tumor, such as the heart, esophagus, thymus, and liver, received the highest equivalent doses. The calculated equivalent doses increased as the tumor depth increased from 4–8 cm to 12–16 cm. The contribution of neutrons to the total equivalent dose was dominant (up to 90%) in most of the organs studied. The calculated risks of secondary cancers were higher in the liver and esophagus compared with other organs when using the BEIR risk model. The maximum risk value was obtained for the left lung when the NCRP 116 risk model was used. Furthermore, the estimated risks of secondary malignancies increased with the tumor depth using both risk models. The calculated risks of radiation-induced secondary cancers were relatively lower than the baseline cancer risks. However, extra attention is warranted to minimize subsequent secondary cancers after proton therapy for lung cancer.
期刊介绍:
Applied Radiation and Isotopes provides a high quality medium for the publication of substantial, original and scientific and technological papers on the development and peaceful application of nuclear, radiation and radionuclide techniques in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, biology, medicine, security, engineering and in the earth, planetary and environmental sciences, all including dosimetry. Nuclear techniques are defined in the broadest sense and both experimental and theoretical papers are welcome. They include the development and use of α- and β-particles, X-rays and γ-rays, neutrons and other nuclear particles and radiations from all sources, including radionuclides, synchrotron sources, cyclotrons and reactors and from the natural environment.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact. The Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria.
Papers dealing with radiation processing, i.e., where radiation is used to bring about a biological, chemical or physical change in a material, should be directed to our sister journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry.
