Objective.As proton arc therapy (PAT) approaches clinical implementation, optimizing treatment plans for this innovative delivery modality remains challenging, especially in addressing time. Existing algorithms minimizing time are either optimal but computationally demanding or fast at the expense of sacrificing many degrees freedom. In study, we introduce a flexible method pre-selecting energy layers (EL) PAT planning before actual robust spot weight optimization.Approach.Our EL...
Abstract Objective:
Radiotherapy (RT) in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients presents challenges due to proximity of many anatomical structures the target volume. Furthermore, inter-fractional changes must be considered assure coverage. Proton arc therapy (PAT) potentially reduces healthy tissue dose compared IMPT and VMAT. The impact PAT on organs-at-risk (OARs), predicted acute- late radiation toxicities robust coverage inter-fraction NPC were...
