Resumen en español
La radioterapia es una técnica de tratamiento usada en oncología basada en el efecto de las radiaciones ionizantes sobre las células. Sus objetivos son lograr la regresión tumoral protegiendo tanto como sea posible los tejidos sanos adyacentes. Se planifica el tratamiento siguiendo estos objetivos expresados en la prescripción médica. El médico debe elegir, frecuentemente entre varias, la planificación más adecuada para el paciente. Las herramientas de análisis que los planificadores le ofrecen al médico no siempre son suficientes. El programa informático Albireo Target incorpora modelos radiobiológicos que cuantifican aspectos relevantes en la clínica diaria. Este trabajo evalúa el desempeño del programa analizando datos exportados de tratamientos radiantes planificados. Se analizaron 7 casos comparando planificaciones con igual fraccionamiento y 1 con variación del mismo. Se realizó un estudio de compensación por interrupciones en el curso del tratamiento. La incorporación de Albireo Target mejora la evaluación de tratamientos radiantes agregando nuevos elementos. Sin embargo, se reconocen limitaciones debido al índice UTCP que no contempla el grado de apartamiento de la dosis recibida por los OARs respecto su dosis de tolerancia, en los casos en los que ésta no es superada.
Resumen en inglés
Radiotherapy is a treatment technique used in Oncology and based on the effects of ionizing radiation upon cells. The aim is to get tumor regression while protecting healthy adjacent tissues as much as possible. Treatment is planned with this purpose in mind and following medical dose prescription. The physician has to choose, among several plans, the one which better fits patient requirements. Analysis tools provided to the physician by the treatment planning software are not always enough. The software Albireo Target incorporates radiobiological models quantifying relevant issues in the daily practice. In this thesis the performance of this application is evaluated analyzing data from radiation treatments already planned. Seven cases were analyzed comparing treatment plans with same fractionation scheme and one changing it. A study of compensation for interruptions in the course of treatment was made. Incorporating Albireo Target improves the treatment planning evaluation due to the facts it adds. Nevertheless, there are some limitations owing to the fact that the UTCP Index used in the application does not take into account the degree of departure of the doses received by OARs with respect to the tolerance dose when it is not exceeded.
