In regard to the paper: Patient performance-based plan parameter optimization for prostate cancer in tomotherapy [Cao YJ, Lee S, Chang KH, Shim JB, Kim KH, Park YJ, Kim CY. Med Dosim. 2015;40(4):285-9. doi: 10.1016/j.meddos.2015.03.005. Epub 2015 Apr 11.]

We happened to read this paper entitled, “Patient performance-based plan parameter optimization for prostate cancer in tomotherapy.” The authors here have made efforts to identify an optimized treatment plan based on different patient performance by analyzing dose volume histogram and dosimetric indices along with planning and treatmen t delivery time. A total of 81 treatment plans (27 for each patient [n = 3]) were generated and analyzed for their effects on 3 different planning parameters, namely field width (FW), pitch factor (PF), and modulation factor (MF).
