Plan robustness evaluation strategies in whole-pelvic proton therapy for high-risk prostate cancer patients within a randomised clinical trial

Both original and recalculated nominal treatment plans showed robust treatment delivery in terms of target coverage.PMID:37773941 | DOI:10.1080/0284186X.2023.2261621
