A new predictive parameter for dose-volume metrics in intensity-modulated radiation therapy planning for prostate cancer: Initial phantom study

CONCLUSIONS: POPP is superior to COPP for creating predictive models at an intermediate-dose level. Because rectal bleeding and bladder toxicity can be associated with intermediate-doses as well as high-doses, it is important to predict dose-volume metrics for various dose levels. POPP is a useful parameter for predicting dose-volume metrics and assisting the generation of treatment plans.PMID:38146130 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.14250
