By analyzing various techniques, we intend to provide insights for optimizing treatment plans and improving clinical outcomes for NMSC patients [1].
Material/Methods:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 25 NMSC patients treated with HDR 192Ir IRT at our institution. Dosimetric parameters, including Dmean for the clinical target volume (CTV), V95%CTV, and D2cc for organs at risk (OAR), were calculated for each modality. HDR IRT was planned using the Freiburg applicator with a Flexitron afterloader (Elekta) and evaluated using the TG-186 algorithm in Oncentra Brachy TPS [2]. VMAT and electron beam plans were simulated using the Eclipse TPS (Varian). The mean dose to the CTV, dose-volume histogram (DVH) metrics, and dose profiles were compared among the techniques.
