Abstract:Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate the multicriteria optimization (MCO) in planning volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for prostate cancer. Methods 14 prostate patients VMAT plans with single criteria optimization,while keeping optimization conditions,new plans were thenoptimized with MCO,dosimetry parameters comparison were made between both kinds of plans. ResultsTwo kinds of VMAT plans satisfied clinical requirements. To compare with SCO plans,PTV 95% and PTV 100% prescription dose coverage of MCO plans increased (P=0.000,0.000),PTV 105% dose coverage became lower (P=0.000),Dmax decreased 0.35 Gy (P=0.063).V20,V30,V40,V50 and Dmean of the rectum were reduced by about 24.7%,36.8%,31.1%,20.5% and 6.8 Gy respectively (P=0.000,0.000,0.000,0.001,0.000),D2cc increased 1.4 Gy (P=0.000);V10,V20,V30,V40,V50 and Dmean of the bladder were reduced by about 5.7%,18.5%,20.9%,12.5%,5.4% and 3.5 Gy respectively (P=0.006,0.000,0.000,0.000,0.002,0.000);V10,V20,V30 and Dmean of small intestine were better in MCO plans. Conclusions MCO plans could reduce the dose of organs at risk while PTV dose prescription satisfied,but the result needs further research and evalution.
