Anatomical changes and dosimetric analysis of the neck region based on FBCT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients during radiotherapy
CONCLUSION: Significant anatomic and dosimetric changes were observed in the target volumes and OARs. Based on the identified thresholds, replanning at approximately 20 fractions is crucial to ensure adequate target volumes dose and avoid overdosing to the OARs. This approach is clinically feasible and strongly recommended, particularly for centers without access to an adaptive planning system.PMID:38457140 | DOI:10.3233/XST-230280
