Need for standardization in the use of structures in the intensity-modulated radiation therapy planning of head and neck cancers, a GORTEC study
Conclusion Use of nsRS is frequent but heterogeneous and should be standardized further in line with ICRU initiatives in IMRT planning. Use of nsRS should be documented with respect to the need for nsRS from dose computation algorithms of treatment planning systems and IMRT machines in terms of modulation capacity and plan robustness.PMID:37659657 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2023.109895
