Dosimetric comparison of inverse optimisation methods versus forward optimisation in HDR brachytherapy of breast, cervical and prostate cancer
ConclusionIn interstitial breast and prostate BT, HIPO results in comparable dose –volume parameters to FO, but HIPO plans are more conformal. In cervical BT, HIPO produces dosimetrically acceptable plans only when more needles are used. The dosimetric quality of IPSA plans is suboptimal and results in unnecessary larger active lengths.
