Establish a comprehensive plan robustness evaluation platform for intensity modulated proton therapy for bilateral head and neck cancer based on the daily cone-beam computed tomography: a dose accumulation study between the PTV based IMPT (PTV-IMPT) and CTV based robust optimized IMPT (ro-IMPT) planning strategies
Abstract:Background: A comprehensive plan evaluation platform was established based on the daily cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to assess the treatment robustness quality between planning target volumebased intensity modulated proton therapy (PTV-IMPT) and clinical target volume (CTV)-based robust optimized IMPT (ro-IMPT) planning strategies in bilateral head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment.Methods: Nine bilateral HNC patients' CT structure sets were used in this study. Daily CBCTs were converted into synthetic-C… Show more
