Detailed description of the preferred embodiments
Fig. 1 a and 1b show that there is the problem of alpha ray shield or retardance in prior art.Particularly, Fig. 1 a represents to treat the embodiment of internal volume and tip shielding 10 partly.In this embodiment, a kind of radiopaque sensitizing agent 16 is dispersed throughout in treatment volume 18 as carcinous or the malignant tumor.When with external radiation source 14 divergent-rays 12, ray 12 is preceding at the sensitizing agent (22) that arrival is positioned at the external radiation source end, and its most of sensitizing agent (20) that is just approached most external radiation source 14 has basically absorbed.Like this, the ray of treatment inside of volume 18 and end portion 12 is with regard to conductively-closed, and the activation usefulness that surpasses the terminal sensitizing agent 22 of some ray penetration range 24 has just obviously reduced.This oneself's shielding causes the inhomogeneities of treatment, wherein most of or whole activity occur over just in Asia-volume 26, and this volume mainly is to be in the part (being the radioactive source-target position separation in ray penetration range 24 scopes) that approaches radioactive source 14 in the treatment volume 18 most.Even adopt the number of ways administration, can this type shielding take place in the inside of treatment volume also, so just reduced the effectiveness of whole therapy.
Another embodiment of shielding 30 sees Fig. 1 b, has wherein adopted closed (contained) inner radiation source as using in brachytherapy.Shown in Fig. 1 b, a kind of radiopaque sensitizing agent 16 is distributed in the treatment volume 18 with basic form uniformly.When with inner radiation source 32 divergent-rays 12, can produce shielding to the end portion of treatment volume 18.Ray 12 is before the sensitizing agent that arrives inner radiation source 36 ends, and its most of sensitizing agent that is just approached most inner radiation source 34 has basically absorbed.Like this, the terminal sensitizing agent 36 that surpasses some effective rays penetration range 24 with regard to conductively-closed and also its activation usefulness also obviously reduce.This oneself's shielding causes the inhomogeneities of treatment, wherein most of or whole activity occur over just in Asia-volume 38, and this volume mainly is to be in the part (being the radioactive source-target position separation in effective penetration range 24 scopes of ray) that approaches inner radiation source 32 in the treatment volume 18 most.
Compare with prior art, the inventive method can provide more uniform radiotherapy to organizing designated volume such as pernicious lump or tumor.
Shown in Fig. 2 a and 2b, usually the inventive method comprises radiosensitizer 44 is distributed in the volume 46 that needs treated tissue, and a large amount of ionization radioactive sources 42 are distributed in the described volume.Before other materials shield inadequately, block or weaken in by sensitizing agent 44, tissue or tissue, each radioactive source 42 all can be to all directions divergent-ray in effective radius, thereby form area for treatment 56, ray combines with radiosensitizer in this zone and required radiological dose enhancement effect is provided.Radioactive source is dispersed throughout in the tissue volume, makes organizing in all treatment volumes all be arranged in one or more area for treatment basically.Preferably, radiosensitizer and radioactive source are distributed in the designated volume of tissue basically equably, thereby more all even efficient emission therapy can be provided specific tissue volume.
Shown in Fig. 2 b, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, but the solid polymer composite of the tumor dispersivity radioactive substance 42 of compound radioactive grain or form of nanoparticles is placed the treatment volume.But increase the concentration of tumor dispersivity radioactive substance 42 entities in the treatment volume 46, make the solid polymer composite that is in these materials in the area for treatment 56 overlapping, thereby need realize effectively treatment 64 in the treatment volume 46 whole.But tumor dispersivity radioactive substance once distribute, preferably be distributed in equably basically in the tumor (this distribution from one to a plurality of main administrations site can by disperse normally, passive dispersal mechanism is implemented in dilution or other element bodies), just can be used as homodisperse radioactive source, they can produce basic ray uniformly in gross tumor volume.And, use this dispersal mechanism to transport minimum effective radiological dose to the health tissues beyond the treatment volume.This uniform ray can activate the described radiosensitizer that is dispersed throughout in the gross tumor volume more equably (between radioactive source and target spot, but be tumor dispersivity radioactive substance discussed below and radiosensitizer), and a kind of method that radiotherapy dosage in the X-ray therapy is transported to more simple and efficiently whole tumor is provided.This shielding to arbitrary given entity 42 weakens effect and greatly simplifies the budget of radiological dose and transport.As mentioned above, because tumour-specific radiosensitizer 44 only is in the volume 46 that needs treatment basically, exceeding needs that the part 66 of any ray interaction volume 56 can not produce tangible collateral damage to radiating adjacent volume 68 beyond the treatment volume 46.Similarly, as described above, by to intratumor injection or other similar medicine-feeding technologies such as nearly vein or lymph injection, but can easily transport the solid polymer composite of this tumor dispersivity radioactive substance 42.
The designated volume of treatment volume or tissue can be any particular organization that is used for the treatment of.Typical case but not exclusively, the tissue that treat can be can be with the radiocurable tissue that the proliferative cell growth has taken place of ionization.Although this cell proliferation can be benign, can expect that the present invention is having very big application aspect the malignant tissue of treatment tumor form, for example the lump of cancerous tumour or other malignant tumor or illing tissue such as cyst, polyp or abscess.
The specific radiosensitizer that is adopted during the present invention is not limited to, the sensitizing agent particular instance that can adopt comprises the halogenation xanthene and the derivant thereof of multiple radiation sensitization, for example rose-red and derivant, phloxin B and derivant thereof, Erythrosin B and derivant, eosin W or W S and derivant thereof, and height bromination or height iodate xanthene and derivant thereof, comprise 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo Erythrosin; Multiple x-ray contrast agent is as Omnipaque TM(iohexol), Omniscan TM(gadodiamide), WIN8883 (diatrizoic acid), iodamide and ethiodized Oil, and contain the medicament of a large amount of radiation sensitization elements or component such as iodine, bromine, chlorine, barium, bismuth, boron, gold, silver, platinum, ferrum, gadolinium, dysprosium and tantalum; Iodate BrdU and bromination BrdU and related agents; Multiple halogenation nucleic acid and DNA part and intercalator comprise multiple based on the acridine and the imidazoles medicament that replace; The biological reductant that multiple nitroimidazole is relevant with other; Misonidazole and related agents; Etanidazole and related agents; Pimondazole and relevant piperidine derivative; Aziridine and related agents; Cyclophosphamide and related agents; Nitroso ureas and related agents; L-phenylalanine mustard and related agents; Cis-Platinum compound and related agents; With amycin and related agents.The present invention preferably adopts the tumour-specific radiosensitizer, as the halogenation xanthene.More preferably the tumour-specific radiosensitizer is rose-red.
Usually, radiosensitizer is introduced the treatment volume, as passing through intravenous administration, direct injection or similar routine techniques by the whole body administration.More preferably, this kind administration comprises that direct injection or other can introduce medicine or need to approach the medicine-feeding technology of treated tissue.Adopt this type of medicine-feeding technology to give above-mentioned radiosensitizer, can make the radiosensitizer of treatment effect level in need treatment volume, be detained a few hours to several weeks.Like this, comprise that through dispersion, dissolving or other passive equilibrium or concentration process selectivity absorbs, radiosensitizer just can be uniformly distributed in basically to be needed in the treatment volume.
The inventive method also comprises the step of a large amount of ionization radioactive sources that distribute.The present invention does not limit the quantity of ionization radioactive source, but estimates to use not only a kind of ionization or other high energy radioactive source.But be used for this kind radioactive source example of the present invention and be tumor dispersivity radioactive substance as discussed below.Yet the present invention is not limited to this kind radioactive substance, but tumor dispersivity radioactive substance of discussing below and radioactive component and other similar material all can adopt.The radioactive source that preferably has one or more is in the treatment volume.And, as described below, preferably have a large amount of this kind distribution of radiation in the treatment volume.
