摘要

Abstract Objective. This study aims at quantifying the lifetime attributable risk of secondary fatal cancer (LARFAC) to patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy treatment for thymoma, a neoplasm where cure rates and life expectancy are relatively high, patient age at presentation relatively low and indications for radiotherapy controversial depending on the disease stage. Approach. An anthropomorphic phantom was scanned, organs were contoured and a standard 6 MV 3DCRT treatment plan was produced for thymoma treatment. The phantom was loaded with thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and treated by linear accelerator per plan. The TLDs were subsequently read for out-of-field dose distribution while in-field dose distribution was obtained from the planning system. Sex and age-specific lifetime radiogenic cancer risk was calculated as the sum of in-field risk and out-of-field risk. The latter risk was estimated using hybrid ICRP 2007 103-BEIR VII tables of organ-specific risks based on the linear-no threshold (LNT) model and applicable at low doses, while the former using mathematical risk models applicable at high doses. Main results. The LARFAC associated with a prescribed dose of 50 Gy to target volume in 25 fractions was in the approximate range of 1%–3%. The risk was higher for young and female patients. The largest contributing organ to this risk were the lungs by far. Using the LNT model inappropriately to calculate risk at therapeutic doses (in-field) would overestimate the risk up to tenfold. Significance. The LARFAC to patient from thymoma radiotherapy was quantified taking into consideration the inapplicability of the LNT model at therapeutic doses. The risk is not negligible; the information may be relevant to patients and clinicians.
