Clinical 3D/4D cumulative proton dose assessment methods for thoracic tumours with large motion

CONCLUSION: Our results show that intra-thoracic tumours can be adequately treated with IMPT in free breathing for target motion amplitudes up to 17 mm employing any of the accumulation methods. Anatomical changes, setup and range errors demonstrated a more severe impact on target coverage than motion in these patients treated with fractionated proton radiotherapy.PMID:36822356 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2023.109575
