Conclusion Majority of radiomics shape features have linear direct or inverse correlations with spiculatedness. We have identified five features that are significantly correlated with spiculatedness and not significantly correlated with volume. However, prudence is still necessary when comparing tumors with differing volumes as features do not appear entirely constant with volume variations. EP-1994 Radiobiological modeling analysis of different fraction schemes for nasopharyngeal cancer J.Y. Lu 1 , B.T. Huang 1 1 Cancer Hospital of Shantou University Medical College, Radiation Oncology, Shantou, China Purpose or Objective The aim of this study was to predict preferable radiotherapy fraction scheme (FS) for early- and advanced-stage nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), respectively, using radiobiological modeling analysis. Material and Methods 20 cases of early- and advanced-stage NPC were included, respectively. For each case, volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans were designed with the same constraints based on four different FSs (70Gy/35 fractions, 70Gy/33 fractions, 70Gy/32 fractions, 70Gy/30 fractions), respectively. Tumor control probability (TCP) was calculated by using the Webb-Nahum model considering tumor repopulation and hypoxia. Normal tissue complication probabilities (NTCPs) were calculated utilizing Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) model. The four kinds of FSs were compared for early- and advanced-stage NPC, respectively, based on uncomplicated tumor control probability (UTCP), TCP and NTCP analysis. Results For the early stage NPC, the median UTCPs for the FSs of 70Gy/35 fractions, 70Gy/33 fractions, 70Gy/32 fractions, 70Gy/30 fractions were 77.6%, 79.6%, 80.9%, 82.4% ( p < 0.05), respectively, while the median TCPs were 85.9%, 88.5%, 89.8%, 92.8%. The NTCPs of 70Gy/30 fractions FS only increased by 0% -1.6% compared to 70Gy/35 fractions while the NTCPs of most organs at risk were ≤ 5%. The UTCPs of advanced NPC were not significantly different (33.2%, 31.9%, 31.2% and 30.4%, p > 0.05). Conclusion Based on radiobiological modeling analysis, it is recommended to use 70Gy/30 fractions FS to improve the local control rate of tumor while not significantly increase NTCPs for early NPC cases. For advanced NPC, the predicted benefits are similar for different FSs. EP-1995 Robustness of textural features in ADC maps with different contouring for prostate cancer patients G. Feliciani 1 , S.

This is due to variability in acquisition and reconstructions methods. In this study we proof robustness of features in prostate cancer patients which predict gleason score from ADC maps employing 5 different contouring methods Material and Methods In our study 25 patients diagnosed with prostate cancer from biopsy and staged by gleason score were enrolled for MR scan and subsequent radiotherapy.
