Dosimetric Comparison of Proton Versus Photon Radiosurgery for Treatment of Pituitary Adenoma
Purpose: To compare the dosimetric differences in stereotactic radiosurgery between use of passively scattered protons (PSRS) versus photons (XSRS) for pituitary adenomas. Methods and Materials: Nine patients with pituitary adenomas were selected among patients receiving single-fraction proton stere...

Methods and Materials: Nine patients with pituitary adenomas were selected among patients receiving single-fraction proton stereotactic radiosurgery (PSRS) between 2016 and 2017. These cases were replanned with XSRS using volumetric-modulated arc therapy with 2.5 mm and 5 mm multileaf collimators (2.5XSRS and 5XSRS, respectively). PSRS was planned with a dedicated single scattering stereotactic proton unit delivered via 3 equally or unequally weighted isocentric fields. XSRS plans were created with optimization to spare organs at risk. Plans were generated using the original total treatment dose delivered in 1 fraction. Results: Plans were evaluated for target volume dosimetry and estimated clinical toxicity. There was no significant difference in clinical target volume V100%, V95%, V90% or homogeneity index between treatment modalities. PSRS offered lower maximum dose (Dmax) to organs at risk and equivalent uniform dose (EUD) compared with 5XSRS and 2.5XSRS, respectively, for critical structures including optic nerve (right, Dmax 4.18, 5.32, 5.41; EUD 3.35, 4.08, 4.20) and hypothalamus (Dmax 1.71, 3.94, 3.77; EUD 0.94, 2.47, 2.39; P < .05 for PSRS vs 5XSRS and 2.5XSRS). The projected risk of secondary tumors in excess of baseline was lowest for PSRS plans (PSRS 5.28, 5XSRS 12.93, 2.5XSRS 12.66 cases per 10,000 patient-years; P = .008 for PSRS vs 5XSRS, PSRS vs 2.5XSRS, and P = .77 for 5XSRS vs 2.5XSRS). Conclusions: We demonstrate that neither modality has empirically superior dosimetry and identify potential clinical advantages as well as limitations of each technique. PSRS, 5XSRS and 2.5XSRS demonstrate comparable target volume dosimetry for pituitary adenoma. PSRS compared with XSRS modalities offers modestly decreased maximum dose and EUD to critical proximal structures and decreases risk of radiation-induced secondary tumors by more than half.Shivani Sud, MDThomas Botticello, BS, CMDAndrzej Niemierko, PhDJillian Daly, BS, CMDMarc Bussiere, MSHelen A Shih, MD, MS, MPHElsevierarticleMedical physics.
