Dosimetric impact of bone marrow sparing for robustly optimized IMPT for locally advanced cervical cancer

CONCLUSION: Achieving 1 GyRBE BMS for IMPT is feasible for LACC patients with limited dosimetric impact on other OARs. While further bone marrow dose reduction is possible for some patients, it may increase OAR doses substantially for others. Hence, we recommend a personalized approach when introducing BMS into clinical IMPT treatment planning to carefully assess individual patient benefits and risks.PMID:38471634 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2024.110222
