A postimplant dosimetry simulation framework for robustness evaluation in permanent breast seed implant brachytherapy

Permanent breast seed implant (PBSI) brachytherapy is a promising treatment that has the potential to be widely utilized with increased standardization, optimization, and robustness. Excellent early efficacy and very high patient acceptance were reported, however, to further evaluate and improve planning strategies, a framework to quantify plan robustness to implant uncertainties is necessary.
