From: TROG 15.03 phase II clinical trial of Focal Ablative STereotactic Radiosurgery for Cancers of the Kidney - FASTRACK II

Organ

Parameter

Dose / Fractionation

26Gy/1Fx

42Gy/3Fx

Spinal canal

Maximum dose

0.03 cc < 12Gy point dose

0.03 cc < 18Gy point dose

Skin (5 mm subcutis)

Maximum Dose (1.5 cc)

< 18Gy

< 30Gy

Small Bowel

Maximum Dose / Volume

0.03 cc <26Gy

5cc < 22.5Gy

0.03 cc < 30Gy

30cc ≤ 12.5Gy

Maximum dose covering full circumference of bowel wall

≤12.5Gy

≤22.5Gy

Large Bowel

Maximum Dose (1.5 cc)

ALARA, aim for <26Gy

ALARA, aim for <42Gy

Stomach

Maximum Dose

Maximum Volume

1.5 cc < 15.4Gy

5 cc ≤ 22.5Gy

0.03 cc < 30 Gy

5 cc ≤ 22.5Gy

Liver

Mean dose, Maximum Volume

No constraint, but mean dose and dose to 700 cc to be documented

700 cc < 15Gy

Ipsilateral kidney minus ITV

Maximum Dose (1.5 cc), V10Gy

ALARA: Minimise volume of high dose regions (> 50% isodose)a

ALARA: Minimise volume of high dose regions (> 50% isodose)

Contralateral Kidney

V10Gy

≤33%

≤33%

  1. a Ipsilateral Kidney minus ITV should adhere to the ALARA principle. In particular, investigators should focus on minimising high dose regions (> 50% isodose) outside the ITV but within the ipsilateral kidney
