Intensity-modulated radiotherapy for whole pelvis irradiation in prostate cancer: A dosimetric and plan robustness study between photons and protons
Technical Innovations & Patient Support in Radiation Oncology（2018）
Abstract
•A split target method was proposed in prostate with pelvic lymph nodes irradiation.•Pencil beam scanning (PBS) plans were able to achieve optimal target coverage.•Low to intermediate dose to the organs at risk were reduced in PBS plans.•PBS plans remained robust in simulated setup and range errors analysis.
