Measurement and analysis of the lung large tumor respiratory movements of large lung tumors / 肿瘤研究与临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To measure intrapulmonary tumor motion due to breathing and analyze the impact factors and characteristics of the respiratory movement of large lung tumors.Methods CT sean was conducted in 30 patients with pulmonary cancer,in the calm inspiratory breath-holding and calm breath after breath-holding state.The tumor GTV in the two phases was recorded.The motion range in the left-right and antero-postefior directions in the GTV center level during the respiratory cyele was measured.The motion range of uppermost and lowermost layer of the tumor from top to bottom was also recorded.The clinical variables and anatomical factors assoeiated with the degree of motion were analyzed.Results The position of large lung tumor was relatively fixed,and the motion range was 3-5 mm,but 2 patients movement was found more than 5 mm.The two tumors were located in the lower part and the rear of the chest with low adhesion coefficient and smaller vertical direction of movement.95 ％ of motion range of the intrapulmonary tumors were under 3.8 mm in the vertical direction,under 5.8 mm in the front-rear direction,and under 1.1 mm in the left-right direction.Conclusion The movement of lung tumors caused by respiratory are influenced by tumor location,volume,and other factors such as the degree of adhesion,but the motion ranges are lower.The motion of lower rear tumors mainly occur in the vertical direction with the maximum range.
