Understanding the impact of pelvic organ motion on dose delivered to target volumes during IMRT for cervical cancer.
CONCLUSION: Organ position variation detrimentally affected dose delivered to CTV including cervix. Large planning bladder volumes (>300cc) led to more variation. We recommend bladder volumes of 150-300cc at planning and a range of 50cc below to 150cc above planning for treatment.
