- W2065556345 abstract "Permanent prostate brachytherapy may be enhanced by delivering radiosensitizer to the target during the implant process. Nanoparticles released from a substrate can deliver drug over an extended period of time and can be engineered to adjust their diffusion parameters. Nanoparticle eluting polymers have been proposed to coat radioactive sources or to form brachytherapy spacers as a way of delivering drug to the prostate. This work determines whether it is preferable to deliver radiosensitizer from sources or spacers. The relative effectiveness of spacers or sources as sources of sensitizer was evaluated by comparing biologic effective dose (BED) of the combined effect of radiation and drug distributions within the prostate. Treatment plans of six patients receiving 125I prostate implants were analyzed under an IRB approved protocol. Target contours were extracted as were the locations of radioactive sources and spacers. Radiation dose was calculated according to AAPM TG43 methodology. Drug distributions were calculated from a solution of the diffusion equation, relative to the steady state concentration at the eluter's surface, for a range of diffusion-elimination modulus (φb) values and concentration needed for maximum sensitization (Cs). φb is viewed as a variable because the properties of the nanoparticles can be adjusted to affect diffusion and time of residence. Cs is treated as a variable because the amplitude of the drug distribution depends on the capacity of the implanted object and the time frame of release. BED calculations of the composite effect were done. The calculations were compared to an approach where the location of the spacers was allowed to be adjusted. The ratio of the BED for the two delivery approaches is presented in the 2D parameter space of φb and Cs. A full sensitization region, corresponding to low values of φb and Cs, shows no difference between approaches. The majority of the remaining parameter space, showed that using spacers to radiosensitize results in a greater BED. Changing the spacer locations from fixed by the treatment plan to adjustable allowed further increase of BED. Using brachytherapy spacers as a vehicle to deliver radiosensitizing nanoparticles offers a greater potential to increase the effectiveness of prostate brachytherapy by in-situ radiosensitization. Further increase was achieved by treating spacer location as planning parameter. Using implanted non-radioactive devices for local radiosensitization suggests the potential of planned chemical distributions in conjunction with radiation planning to produce an optimal combined result." @default.
