Dosimetric advantages of proton therapy compared with photon therapy using an adaptive strategy in cervical cancer.

Conclusion This study demonstrates the feasibility of IGAPT in cervical cancer using a plan-library based plan-of-the-day approach. Compared to photon-based IGART, IGAPT maintains target coverage while significant dose reductions for the bladder, bowel and rectum can be achieved.
