Odense Universitetshospital tilfører kræftpatienters stereotaktiske strålebehandling næsten tre gange hurtigere med Elektas Versa HD-system

ODENSE, Denmark, 24. juli 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Takket være Odense Universitetshospitals (OUH) nye Versa HD™-system fra Elekta var tilførslen af den tredje og sidste stereotaktiske strålebehandling for en 69-årig mandlig patient med lungekræft næsten tre gange så hurtig som hans første to sessioner, der blev tilført via OUHs eksisterende strålebehandlingssystem. Den tredje "fraktion" tog 2,5 minutter om at tilføre behandlingen i modsætning til de syv minutter, det tager med den eksisterende lineære accelerator.

Versa HD er et avanceret strålebehandlingssystem, der er udviklet til at forbedre håndteringen af kræftpleje og behandle et bredere spektrum af tumorer overalt i kroppen. Versa HD, markedets mest avancerede lineære accelerator, er et enkelt system, der kan tilføre traditionelle behandlinger af indikationer, som er almindelige på klinikken, mens det også muliggør behandling af komplekse kræftformer, der kræver exceptionel målrettet præcision.

Den 3. juni - datoen for den 69-årige patients tredje behandling - anvendte lægerne systemets Agility™ flerbladede kollimator med 160 blade og højdoseringstilstanden. Kombinationen højdoseringstilstanden med Agility™ betød, at patienten modtog sin stereotaktiske behandling på meget kortere tid. 

"Vi tilførte en stor, potent dosis på 22 Gy for den enkle session på samme tid, som det ville tage at levere en meget mindre dosis på 2 Gy med vores eksisterende maskine", udtaler Olfred Hansen, MD, leder af OUHs afdeling for strålebehandling. "Desuden behøvede vi ikke at foretage den sædvanlige 4D CBCT-scanning halvvejs gennem fraktionen for at sikre, at patienten ikke havde bevæget sig. Dette er en nødvendig sikkerhedsforanstaltning, når tilførselstiden er syv minutter, men med blot 2,5 minutters stråler til tiden, er vi sikre på, at patienten kan ligge stille, hvormed vi kan springe scanningen over og udføre CBCT-scanningen i starten og slutningen af behandlingen."

Ved at eliminere den midterste CBCT-scanning og tilføre strålerne hurtigere kan OUHs læger nu reducere den stereotaktiske session fra tre 10-minutters sessioner  til to 10-minutters sessioner.

"For hver stereotaktiske patient, vi behandler med Versa HD, opnår vi en ekstra session, som vi kan bruge til en ikke-stereotaktisk patient", siger han "Det kan omregnes til to eller tre ekstra patientbehandlinger hver dag."

På nuværende tidspunkt sammenligner dr. Hansen og hans team Versa HD-planerne og behandlingstilførslerne med deres nuværende protokol, der anvender deres eksisterende system.

"Vi vil fortsætte med at sammenligne resultater i løbet af de næste to til tre måneder, mens vi støt øger antallet af stereotaktiske patienter og tilføjer behandlingscentre", siger dr. Hansen. "Vi forudser, at vi til september bruger Versa HD's højdoseringsfunktion som standardproceduren. Vi forventer virkelig, at dette bliver et kæmpe spring fremad, hvad angår stereotaktisk strålebehandling."

OUH er i øjeblikket i gang med at installere endnu et Versa HD-system.
