Methods and materials: We analyzed 32 patients receiving CRT. The whole pelvic bone marrow (PBM) and the lumbosacral spine (LSS) subregion were contoured for each patient. Marrow cavities were contoured using the Hounsfield units (HUs) of 100, 150, 200, and 250 as maximum density threshold levels. The volume of each region receiving at least 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 40 Gy was calculated. The endpoint was grade ?. 3 HT (HT3. +). Normal-tissue complication probability (NTCP) was evaluated with the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) model. Maximal likelihood estimate was used to compare the parameter set. Logistic regression was used to test associations between HT and both dosimetric and clinical parameters. Results: Ten patients (31%) experienced HT3+. While dose to both LSS and PBM significantly predicted for HT3+, LSS was superior to PBM by logistic regression and LKB modeling. Constrained optimization of the LKB model for HT3+ yielded the parameters m = 0.21, n = 1, and TD50 = 32 Gy for LSS. The NTCP fits were better with the whole bone than with marrow cavity using any HU threshold. Mean LSS doses of 21 Gy and 23.5 Gy result in a 5% and 10% risk of HT3+, respectively. Mean dose and low-dose radiation parameters (V5, V10, V15, V20) of whole bone or bone cavities of LSS were correlated most significantly with HT3+. Conclusions: For predicting the risk of HT3. +, whole-bone contours were superior to marrow cavity and LSS was superior to PBM by LKB modeling. The results confirm PBM and LSS as parallel organs when predicting hematologic toxicity. Recommended dose constraints to the LSS are V10 ?80%. An LSS mean dose of 23.5 Gy is associated with a 10% risk of HT. ? 2014 American Society for Radiation Oncology. |
