Clinical Trial Summary

This study is designed to investigate whether daily images of the pelvis and bladder using a device called a cone beam CT scanner will help to increase the accuracy of radiotherapy treatment. The cone beam CT scanner is a part of the radiotherapy treatment unit. The results of the study may allow patients in the future who are undergoing radiotherapy treatment for bladder cancer to 1) have more accurately directed treatment, 2) have higher doses of radiation delivered to the tumour while keeping doses to the surrounding normal tissues as low as possible. This may allow eradication of the cancer while minimizing side effects of treatment.

This study consists of two phases: Phase A and Phase B. In Phase A, images were collected and analyzed and it was confirmed that it was useful to use the cone beam machine for daily Cone Beam CT Bladder (Phase B)treatment adjustments. In phase B, we hope to be able to use cone beam CT scans to more accurately direct the radiotherapy treatments on a daily basis.


Clinical Trial Description

Cone beam computed tomography (CT) is new technology that allows the acquisition of 3-dimensional cross-sectional imaging while the patient is positioned on a linear accelerator couch. Cone beam CT also provides 3D soft tissue volumetric data and therefore important information on daily interfraction movement and deformation of normal critical structures within the pelvis. Visualization of the tumor using this technology may also be enhanced by the additional placement of fiducial markers around the tumor bed to ensure even more accurate targeting. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of daily cone beam CT for image guidance in patients receiving radiation therapy (RT) for bladder cancer as well document changes in size and location of the bladder and rectum during an entire course of RT. This will enable us to explore techniques for radiation therapy based on normal tissue avoidance models to reduce treatment toxicity and potentially dose escalation in the future. ;
