Nine Years of Plan of the Day for Cervical Cancer: Plan Library Remains Effective Compared to Fully Online-Adaptive Techniques

External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is an important part of the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients. Inter-fraction deformations in pelvic anatomy are known to vary widely in size within this patient group [1 –4], resulting in large inter-patient differences in target mobility. Consequently, population-based margins are undesirable as they disadvantage patients with low target mobility in terms of normal tissue sparing [5,6] or compromise the target coverage of the other patients, if chosen too small.
