Abstract:
Objective To analyze the outcome of intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT). Methods Thirty patients with malignant gliomas were received postoperative intensity modulated radiation therapy,the 90%~95% isodose curve include planning target volume(PTV).The prescription dose was (58~70) Gy/(28~33) f to GTV(gross target volume),(56~66) Gy/(28~33) f to CTV (clinical target volume),(50.4~60) Gy/(28~33) f to PTV,1 f/d,5 f/w. Results The complete response (CR) rate was 23.3%(7/30),the partial response (PR) was 66.7%(20/30),stable disease(SD) was 10%(3/30).The 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates were 93.3%,76.7%,60% respectively.The 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates were 100%,94.1%,76.5% for grade Ⅰ~Ⅱ,and 84.6%,53.8%,38.5% for grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ respectively.There was significant difference (P=0.0153).All patients showed well toleration in this treatment scheme.The main side effects were intracranial hypertension,cerebral edema. Conclusion IMRT is an effective and safe treatment in the patients with malignant gliomas.
