More specifically, an object of the invention is to provide an immobilizing device or abdominal compressor for diagnosis and medical treatments, which is simple, low cost, versatile, allowing immobilization to be carried out quickly and with greater control of the tumor area. to treat.
Antecedentes de la invención Background of the Invention
El tratamiento más eficaz contra el cáncer es la cirugía, pero en muchas ocasiones, bien por antecedentes del paciente o por inoperabilidad del tumor no se puede llevar a cabo. Las metástasis hepáticas (derivadas de tumores de colon o de otros tumores), el adenocarcinoma de páncreas o el hepatocarcinoma, inoperables todos ellos, pueden beneficiarse de tratamientos curativos con radioterapia mediante técnicas de alta intensidad y precisión como es la radioterapia estereotáxica corporal, conocido en inglés como:“Stereotactic Body RadioTherapy” o (SBRT). The most effective treatment against cancer is surgery, but in many cases, either due to the patient's history or due to the inoperability of the tumor, it cannot be carried out. Liver metastases (derived from colon tumors or other tumors), pancreatic adenocarcinoma or hepatocarcinoma, all of them inoperable, can benefit from curative treatments with radiotherapy by means of high intensity and precision techniques such as stereotaxic body radiotherapy, known in English as: “Stereotactic Body RadioTherapy” or (SBRT).
Desde finales de los años 90, el reto de la oncología radioterápica ha sido lograr la misma precisión y control tumoral en la zona toraco-abdominal, tal y como se consiguió en los años 50 en el cráneo con la radioterapia estereotáxica craneal. Since the late 1990s, the challenge of radiotherapy oncology has been to achieve the same precision and tumor control in the thoraco-abdominal area, as was achieved in the 1950s in the skull with cranial stereotaxic radiotherapy.
Los órganos abdominales están sometidos a un movimiento interno debido a la respiración y al movimiento intestinal. Así surge la SBRT, definida como una técnica de irradiación de alta precisión, que permite administrar, en un número limitado de sesiones, dosis muy altas al tumor, focalizadas en él, con efecto biológico ablativo altamente citotóxico (destrucción masiva de las células tumorales), y dosis mínimas
sobre los tejidos sanos circundantes. Mientras que los tratamientos de radioterapia convencional se administran en sesiones de 1 ,8 a 2 Gy hasta dosis de 60 o 70 Gy (30- 35 sesiones de tratamiento), las dosis administradas en SBRT superan los 5 Gy por sesión con un máximo de 8 sesiones, lo que supone un equivalente radiobiológico mayor (mayor dosis de radiación en el tumor). The abdominal organs are subjected to internal movement due to breathing and bowel movement. This is how the SBRT emerged, defined as a high-precision irradiation technique, which allows very high doses of the tumor to be administered, focused on it, with a highly cytotoxic ablative biological effect (massive destruction of tumor cells) in a limited number of sessions. , and minimum doses on the surrounding healthy tissues. While conventional radiotherapy treatments are administered in sessions of 1.8 to 2 Gy up to doses of 60 or 70 Gy (30-35 treatment sessions), the doses administered in SBRT exceed 5 Gy per session with a maximum of 8 sessions, which is a higher radiobiological equivalent (higher radiation dose to the tumor).
El movimiento al que están sometidos los órganos abdominales puede limitarse con el uso de inmovilizadores corporales adaptados. Las consecuencias de no controlar este movimiento son un peor control de la enfermedad tumoral y la aparición de efectos secundarios, por ejemplo, al irradiar volúmenes importantes de hígado sano puede producirse un fallo hepático radio-inducido, que a su vez puede conllevar la muerte del individuo. Lo mismo ocurre en el resto de órganos de la región abdominal, pudiéndose producir úlceras duodenales, úlceras gástricas o perforaciones de visceras huecas (intestino o estómago). The movement to which the abdominal organs are subjected can be limited with the use of adapted body immobilizers. The consequences of not controlling this movement are worse control of tumor disease and the appearance of side effects, for example, by irradiating large volumes of healthy liver, radio-induced liver failure can occur, which in turn can lead to death of the liver. individual. The same occurs in the rest of the organs of the abdominal region, and duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers or perforations of hollow viscera (intestine or stomach) can occur.
Desde hace unos años, la técnica de SBRT se realiza con éxito en tumores de pulmón, para ello se han desarrollado diferentes inmovilizadores corporales en este campo y son muchos los centros que hacen estos tratamientos. Sin embargo, la SBRT abdominal ha estado más limitada aunque se está empezando a implementar, como ocurre en nuestro centro. Dentro de no mucho tiempo, se comenzarán a renovar los aceleradores lineales de los centros públicos, permitiendo que en estos centros comiencen a llevarse a cabo estos tratamientos, precisando de un sistema de inmovilización óptimo. Lo mismo ocurre fuera del país, donde la técnica está algo más desarrollada. For a few years, the SBRT technique has been successfully performed on lung tumors, for which different body immobilizers have been developed in this field and many centers carry out these treatments. However, abdominal SBRT has been more limited, although it is beginning to be implemented, as is the case in our center. In a short time, the linear accelerators of public centers will begin to be renewed, allowing these centers to begin to carry out these treatments, requiring an optimal immobilization system. The same occurs outside the country, where the technique is somewhat more developed.
Para poder administrar la SBRT abdominal son necesarios inmovilizadores para esta región del cuerpo que disminuyan sobre todo el movimiento causado por la respiración. En el mercado existen varios dispositivos disponibles, como por ejemplo el descrito en la solicitud de patente norteamericana US 2012/0186588 A1 , pero son dispositivos complejos de utilizar y muy molestos para el paciente, por lo que ninguno de ellos es satisfactorio. In order to administer the abdominal SBRT, immobilizers are required for this region of the body, which reduces especially the movement caused by breathing. There are several devices available on the market, such as the one described in US patent application US 2012/0186588 A1, but they are complex devices to use and very bothersome for the patient, so none of them are satisfactory.
Existen diferentes técnicas de control del movimiento mediante inmovilización o marcadores en el tumor. Uno de estos sistemas es el“dampening” que se basa en la compresión controlada del abdomen del paciente para restringir el desplazamiento del diafragma durante el ciclo respiratorio, de esta forma también se limita el desplazamiento de las lesiones localizadas en pulmón o en abdomen superior. La
compresión se realiza con dispositivos de tipo cinturón o tipo arco que están diseñados para que la compresión sea constante a lo largo del tratamiento. Este es uno de los métodos más empleados para disminuir el movimiento del tumor asociado a la respiración en SBRT sobretodo en pacientes con grandes desplazamientos. There are different techniques to control movement by immobilization or markers on the tumor. One of these systems is "dampening" which is based on controlled compression of the patient's abdomen to restrict the movement of the diaphragm during the respiratory cycle, thus also limiting the movement of lesions located in the lung or upper abdomen. The Compression is performed with belt-type or arch-type devices that are designed so that compression is constant throughout the treatment. This is one of the most used methods to decrease the movement of the tumor associated with respiration in SBRT, especially in patients with large displacements.
Es conocido que para una correcta aplicación de las técnicas de SBRT, es de vital importancia conseguir una posición estable y reproducible de los pacientes, y que la posición del paciente sea: con los brazos detrás de la cabeza y con un soporte de rodillas, It is known that for a correct application of the SBRT techniques, it is vitally important to achieve a stable and reproducible position of the patients, and that the position of the patient is: with the arms behind the head and with a knee support,
una posición segura para el paciente y para el tratamiento. a safe position for the patient and for treatment.
A pesar de estas recomendaciones, las características exactas del movimiento varían en función de la localización tumoral y el inmovilizador óptimo aún no ha sido desarrollado. Despite these recommendations, the exact characteristics of the movement vary depending on the tumor location and the optimal immobilizer has not yet been developed.
Así, los principales inconvenientes de los dispositivos actuales, son: Thus, the main drawbacks of current devices are:
• Alteran el haz de irradiación por contener metal, esto dificulta la planificación, ya que al entrar el haz de irradiación por la zona del metal los cálculos de dosis se alteran y no se conocen con precisión, algo que con esta técnica de irradiación es muy importante por las dosis tan elevadas que se administran.• They alter the irradiation beam because it contains metal, this makes planning difficult, since when the irradiation beam enters the metal area, the dose calculations are altered and are not precisely known, something that with this irradiation technique is very important for the high doses that are administered.
• Incompatibilidad con la resonancia magnética, algunos por tamaño y otros por contener metal, lo que impide el uso de las imágenes de resonancia adquiridas con compresión abdominal, para la delimitación de volúmenes. • Incompatibility with magnetic resonance imaging, some due to size and others due to containing metal, which prevents the use of resonance images acquired with abdominal compression to delimit volumes.
• Otros dispositivos precisan de un entrenamiento del paciente y una función pulmonar conservada para llevarlos a cabo. • Other devices require patient training and preserved lung function to perform them.
• Son incómodos para el paciente, provocando dolor, ansiedad o importante inquietud, lo que se traduce en respiraciones agitadas y forzadas y por tanto empeora la calidad del tratamiento. • They are uncomfortable for the patient, causing pain, anxiety or major restlessness, which translates into heavy and forced breathing and therefore worsens the quality of treatment.
• Se tarda mucho tiempo en su correcta colocación. • It takes a long time for its correct placement.
• Algunos sistemas son de un solo uso. • Some systems are for single use only.
Por lo tanto, para extender y facilitar la implementación de la SBRT abdominal se hace necesario contar con un dispositivo adaptable, que facilite la tarea del técnico de radioterapia y mejore el confort del paciente mientras recibe el tratamiento.
Descripción de la invención Therefore, to extend and facilitate the implementation of the abdominal SBRT, it is necessary to have an adaptable device, which facilitates the task of the radiotherapy technician and improves the patient's comfort while receiving the treatment. Description of the Invention
La invención consiste en un dispositivo de inmovilización preferentemente aplicable para SBRT abdominal, que se basa en la técnica del“dampening” descrita anteriormente para la inmovilización abdominal de pacientes. The invention consists of an immobilization device preferably applicable for abdominal SBRT, which is based on the dampening technique described above for abdominal immobilization of patients.
De este modo, un aspecto de la invención se refiere a un dispositivo inmovilizador abdominal para diagnóstico y tratamientos médicos, preferentemente radioterapia, que comprende un cinto de material flexible que tiene una zona central y dos bandas laterales que parten de la zona central hasta los dos extremos del cinto. La zona central tiene un área adecuada para cubrir la mayor parte del abdomen de un paciente, con objeto de poder ejercer presión en cualquier zona del abdomen. Thus, one aspect of the invention relates to an abdominal immobilizer device for diagnosis and medical treatments, preferably radiotherapy, comprising a flexible material belt that has a central zone and two lateral bands that start from the central zone up to the two ends of the belt. The central area has an adequate area to cover most of a patient's abdomen, in order to be able to apply pressure to any area of the abdomen.
Las bandas laterales tienen una longitud adecuada para fijar el dispositivo a una mesa clínica a través de las barras laterales de la mesa, o alternativamente a través de un útil diseñado para esa finalidad que se describirá más adelante. The side bands are of adequate length to fix the device to a clinical table through the side bars of the table, or alternatively through a tool designed for that purpose that will be described later.
El dispositivo incorpora una placa de material plástico que aporta rigidez a esta zona central del cinto, que puede tener cierto grado de flexibilidad o ser completamente rígida, y que está inmersa en la zona central del cinto. La zona central está definida por la placa rígida. The device incorporates a plastic material plate that provides rigidity to this central zone of the belt, which can have a certain degree of flexibility or be completely rigid, and which is embedded in the central zone of the belt. The central zone is defined by the rigid plate.
El dispositivo además dispone de una o varias almohadillas de varios tamaños y formas, las cuales sirven como elemento de presión en una zona concreta del abdomen. La almohadilla es fijable por su base plana a una de las caras de la zona central, y puesto que el área de la base plana es menor que el área de la placa rígida, la almohadilla se puede fijar en diversas posiciones del abdomen, en función del órgano abdominal que se desea tratar (páncreas, hígado, glándulas suprarrenales, riñones y ganglios linfáticos) y la fisionomía del paciente. De este modo, el dispositivo es muy versátil, ya que se puede personalizar a cada paciente, eligiendo la posición de la almohadilla para presionar sobre la zona deseada. The device also has one or more pads of various sizes and shapes, which serve as a pressure element in a specific area of the abdomen. The pad is fixable by its flat base to one of the faces of the central area, and since the area of the flat base is less than the area of the rigid plate, the pad can be fixed in various positions of the abdomen, depending on of the abdominal organ to be treated (pancreas, liver, adrenal glands, kidneys and lymph nodes) and the patient's physiognomy. In this way, the device is very versatile, since it can be personalized to each patient, choosing the position of the pad to press on the desired area.
Preferentemente la almohadilla se fija al cinto mediante velero © (o cualquier variedad del mismo), ya que el velero al estar realizado con un material plástico y textil, no interfiere con la radiación. Preferably the pad is attached to the belt by sailboat © (or any variety thereof), since the sailboat, being made of a plastic and textile material, does not interfere with radiation.
Igualmente dispone de velero (o una variedad del mismo) para fijar parte de las bandas laterales en la otra cara de la zona central y/o parte de las propias bandas
laterales cuando éstas se pliegan sobre sí mismas. Alternativamente, en lugar o en combinación con el velero, se utilizan unos corchetes o unas cinchas, para fijar parte de las bandas laterales en la otra cara de la zona central y/o parte de las propias bandas laterales cuando éstas se pliegan sobre sí mismas. It also has a sailboat (or a variety thereof) to fix part of the side bands on the other side of the central area and / or part of the bands themselves lateral when they fold over themselves. Alternatively, instead or in combination with the sailboat, brackets or straps are used, to fix part of the side bands on the other side of the central area and / or part of the side bands themselves when they fold over themselves. .

The belt (1) can be made of a plastic or textile material, which is washable, for example by superimposing two layers of said material by placing the plate between the two layers, and then sewing or gluing the two layers together, so that the plate is immersed in the belt.
Las bandas laterales (1a, 1 b) tienen una extensión adecuada para pasar por las barras laterales (7) (o el útil (4)) de una mesa clínica, tal y como se muestra en las figuras 5 y 6, y plegarse sobre sí mismas para la adecuada fijación e inmovilización de un paciente. The side bands (1a, 1 b) have a suitable extension to go through the side bars (7) (or the tool (4)) of a clinical table, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, and fold over themselves for the proper fixation and immobilization of a patient.
El dispositivo también incorpora uno o varias almohadillas (3) de varios tamaños y formas, para adaptarse mejor a la zona abdominal a inmovilizar. Para ello, la
almohadilla tiene una base plana (9) para fijarse en distintas posiciones del área central (1c) del cinto (1), según le órgano abdominal tratar, logrando un uso personalizado para cada paciente y mayor eficiencia en la inmovilización. The device also incorporates one or more pads (3) of various sizes and shapes, to better adapt to the abdominal area to be immobilized. For this, the pad has a flat base (9) to be fixed in different positions of the central area (1c) of the belt (1), according to the abdominal organ to be treated, achieving a personalized use for each patient and greater efficiency in immobilization.
La figura 2 muestra varios ejemplos de almohadillas, por ejemplo la almohadilla de los dibujos (3A,3B) tiene dos bases planas, substancialmente paralelas entre sí, y de configuración triangular, mientras que la almohadilla de los dibujos (2C,2D) es una semi-esfera con una base plana (9) circular. Figure 2 shows several examples of pads, for example the pad of the drawings (3A, 3B) has two flat bases, substantially parallel to each other, and of triangular configuration, while the pad of the drawings (2C, 2D) is a semi-sphere with a flat base (9) circular.
El dispositivo de la invención, además dispone de un útil (4) que permite la fijación del cinto (1) a mesas clínicas que no dispongan de barras laterales. Este útil (4) se ha representado en la figura 4, y se compone de una placa central plana (5) que puede fijarse a la plataforma rígida de una mesa clínica por medios convencionales, por ejemplo mediante atornillado. El útil (4) tiene asas laterales (6,6') con forma de“U” emergentes ortogonalmente respectivamente de los extremos de la placa central (5), por donde se hacen pasar las bandas laterales (1 a, 1b) del cinto para la inmovilización de un paciente, como se muestra en la figura 5B. The device of the invention also has a tool (4) that allows the fixation of the belt (1) to clinical tables that do not have side bars. This tool (4) is shown in figure 4, and is made up of a flat central plate (5) that can be fixed to the rigid platform of a clinical table by conventional means, for example by screwing. The tool (4) has lateral handles (6,6 ' ) with a “U” shape emerging orthogonally respectively from the ends of the central plate (5), through which the lateral bands (1 a, 1b) of the belt are passed for immobilization of a patient, as shown in Figure 5B.
En la zona central (1c) y por una de las caras del cinto (1) (dibujo 1 A) se dispone de una primera parte de velero (8), mientras que la cara plana (9) de las almohadillas (3,3') disponen de la segunda parte de velero (8') complementaria con la primera (8), para obtener la fijación de ambas partes por contacto entre ellas de forma ya conocida. La base plana (9) de la almohadilla es menor que el área de la placa rígida (2), por lo que la almohadilla (3,3') se puede fijar en distintas posiciones de la zona de central (1c), de forma preestablecida para cada paciente en función del órgano al que se vaya a someter a una sesión de radioterapia, tal y como muestra la figura 3. In the central area (1c) and on one of the sides of the belt (1) (drawing 1 A) there is a first part of the sailboat (8), while the flat face (9) of the pads (3.3 ' ) have the second part of the sailboat (8 ' ) complementary to the first (8), to obtain the fixing of both parts by contact between them in a known manner. The flat base (9) of the pad is less than the area of the rigid plate (2), so that the pad (3,3 ' ) can be fixed in different positions in the central area (1c), so pre-established for each patient depending on the organ to be subjected to a radiotherapy session, as shown in figure 3.
Para ayudar en el posicionamiento adecuado de la almohadilla (3,3'), el cinto (1) dispone en uno de sus bordes, de una escala graduada (10) en una unidad de longitud. To assist in the proper positioning of the pad (3,3 ' ), the belt (1) has on one of its edges, a graduated scale (10) in a unit of length.
La otra cara del cinto (1) (dibujo 1 B), dispone sobre la zona central (1c) y sobre una parte interna de las bandas laterales (1a, 1b) una primera parte de velero (8), mientras que el resto de las bandas laterales (1a, 1 b) hasta los extremos disponen de la segunda parte de velero (8') complementaria con la primera (8) para unir ambas
partes por presión, cuando las bandas laterales se pliegan sobre sí mismas hacia el centro del cinto pasando por las barras (7) de una mesa o por las asas (6,6') del útil (4), pudiéndose ajustar de este modo el cinto para inmovilizar adecuadamente la zona abdominal deseada de un paciente. The other side of the belt (1) (drawing 1 B), has on the central area (1c) and on an internal part of the lateral bands (1a, 1b) a first part of the sailboat (8), while the rest of the lateral bands (1a, 1 b) up to the ends have the second part of the sailboat (8 ' ) complementary to the first (8) to join both parts by pressure, when the lateral bands fold on themselves towards the center of the belt passing through the bars (7) of a table or by the handles (6,6 ' ) of the tool (4), thus being able to adjust the belt to properly immobilize a patient's desired abdominal area.
En este proceso de inmovilización, la placa rígida (2) constituye un soporte adecuado para la almohadilla (3,3'), que potencia la presión que puede ejercer la misma sobre la zona abdominal.
In this immobilization process, the rigid plate (2) constitutes a suitable support for the pad (3,3 ' ), which enhances the pressure that it can exert on the abdominal area.
