This study presented a method of plan selection in intensity modulated proton therapy to address the challenge of delivering treatment to the prostate and the pelvic lymph nodes with different motion patterns. The plan library used different positions of the prostate created from a population model of day-to-day target motion. Plan selection from this library reduced the dose to the rectum and bladder without compromising target coverage compared with nonadaptive delivery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
