Abstract

Background:

Patients with renal transplant have a higher incidence of various malignancies. Delivery of adequate radiation dose to the pelvic target in such patients sparing the transplanted kidney is a dosimetric ordeal. Due to lack of sufficient data in the literature regarding the dose constraint of the transplanted pelvic kidney, plan evaluation becomes extremely challenging in this situation. Here we present comparative dosimetric plan evaluation data of treating a patient with carcinoma of the vulva with transplanted kidney.

Methods:

We compared 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) plans for a patient diagnosed to have carcinoma of the vulva with a transplanted kidney. Total dose of radiotherapy (63 Gy) was delivered in two phases (45 Gy in 25 fractions and 18 Gy in 10 fractions respectively). We compared dose to planning target volume (PTV), and dose to organs at risk including the transplanted kidney in these two techniques. The volumes encompassed by different isodoses (50%, 20%, 10%, 5%) were also compared. Weekly renal function test was monitored.

Results:

The dose received by 95% of the planning target volume in 3DCRT was 43.3 Gy (phase 1), 17.7 Gy (phase 2) and in IMRT was 43.74 Gy (phase 1), 17.3 Gy (phase 2). The mean doses received by kidney in Phase 1 3DCRT, Phase 1 IMRT, phase 2 3DCRT and phase 2 IMRT were 0.98 Gy, 3.05 Gy, 0.74 Gy, 0.13 Gy respectively. The volumes covered by 50%, 20%, 10%, 5% were higher with IMRT plan when compared with 3DCRT plans. The creatinine values remained stable through the treatment.

Conclusion:

Radiotherapy in renal transplanted patients can be done with high precision radiotherapy techniques with strict dosimetric and image guided set up verification.
