Pancreas

Post-operative:

Pelvis

Normal pelvic structures

  • RTOG
    • 2012 PMID 22483697 -- "Pelvic normal tissue contouring guidelines for radiation therapy: a radiation therapy oncology group consensus panel atlas." (Gay HA, Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2012 Jul 1;83(3):e353-62.)

    • Contouring guidelines.
  • RTOG; 2008 PMID 18037584 -- "Consensus guidelines for delineation of clinical target volume for intensity-modulated pelvic radiotherapy in postoperative treatment of endometrial and cervical cancer." (Small W Jr, Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2008 Jun 1;71(2):428-34. Epub 2007 Nov 26.)
    • Consensus atlas of CTV for post-op RT of endometrial and cervical centers for IMRT
  • St. Bartholomew (UK)
    • 2007 PMID 17624745 -- "An atlas of the pelvic lymph node regions to aid radiotherapy target volume definition." (Taylor A, Clin Oncol (R Coll Radiol). 2007 Sep;19(7):542-50. Epub 2007 Jul 10.)
      • Development of a CT atlas
    • 2005 PMID 16198509 — "Mapping pelvic lymph nodes: guidelines for delineation in intensity-modulated radiotherapy." Taylor A et al. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2005 Dec 1;63(5):1604-12.
      • Gynecologic malignancies. Used MRI with iron oxide particles to visualize lymph nodes. Determined the size of margins around vessels in order to include lymph nodes.
      • Gives common iliac, external iliac, internal iliac, obturator, and presacral.
      • Gives guidelines for pelvic nodal CTV delineation
  • Portaluri (Italy), 2005 - PMID 15913911 — "A three-dimensional definition of nodal spaces on the basis of CT images showing enlarged nodes for pelvic radiotherapy." Portaluri M et al. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. 2005 Nov 15;63(4):1101-7.
    • Defines anatomic boundaries for enlarged pelvic lymph nodes. Boundaries presented in table form. CT contours for each nodal group.
    • Gives common iliac, external iliac, internal iliac, obturator, pudendal, deep inguinal, superficial inguinal, and presacral.

    • Gynecologic malignancies. CT and lymphangiogram. Determined greatest distance from lymph node to the vessels.
    • Did not include internal iliac (not usually visible on LAG)
    • Conclusion: vessel expansion alone was not sufficient to cover the nodal areas fully and reasonably exclude normal tissue.
