Online adaptive radiotherapy for head and neck cancers on the MR linear Accelerator: Introducing a novel modified Adapt-to-Shape approach

Introduction: The Elekta Unity MR-Linac (MRL) has enabled adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for patients with head and neck cancers (HNC). Adapt-To-Shape-Lite (ATS-Lite) is a novel Adapt-to-Shape strategy that provides ART without requiring daily clinician presence to perform online target and organ at ri...

Adapt-To-Shape-Lite (ATS-Lite) is a novel Adapt-to-Shape strategy that provides ART without requiring daily clinician presence to perform online target and organ at risk (OAR) delineation. In this study we compared the performance of our clinically-delivered ATS-Lite strategy against three Adapt-To-Position (ATP) variants: Adapt Segments (ATP-AS), Optimise Weights (ATP-OW), and Optimise Shapes (ATP-OS). Methods: Two patients with HNC received radical-dose radiotherapy on the MRL. For each fraction, an ATS-Lite plan was generated online and delivered and additional plans were generated offline for each ATP variant. To assess the clinical acceptability of a plan for every fraction, twenty clinical goals for targets and OARs were assessed for all four plans. Results: 53 fractions were analysed. ATS-Lite passed 99.9% of mandatory dose constraints. ATP-AS and ATP-OW each failed 7.6% of mandatory dose constraints. The Planning Target Volumes for 54 Gy (D95% and D98%) were the most frequently failing dose constraint targets for ATP. ATS-Lite median fraction times for Patient 1 and 2 were 40 mins 9 s (range 28 mins 16 s – 47 mins 20 s) and 32 mins 14 s (range 25 mins 33 s – 44 mins 27 s), respectively. Conclusions: Our early data show that the novel ATS-Lite strategy produced plans that fulfilled 99.9% of clinical dose constraints in a time frame that is tolerable for patients and comparable to ATP workflows.
