43 From creation to clinical use of knowledge-based optimization model for breast and lymph node irradiations in volumetric modulated arc therapy, VMAT

Introduction.Treatment planning is a complex process that can result in a large number of possible dosimetric solutions. The final dose distribution depends on the geometry of organs at risk with respect to the target, differences in treatment technique, planner experience … Our work aims to describe the first steps of the creation and clinical validation of a knowledge-based treatment planning model for breast cancer irradiation using VMAT.
