Dosimetric comparison and secondary malignancy risk estimation for linac-based and robotic stereotactic radiotherapy in uveal melanoma
It was aimed to investigate the dosimetric differences among linac-based and robotic stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) techniques for the treatment of uveal melanoma and to evaluate secondary malignancy risks for these different SRT techniques. Ten patients who received robotic SRT with CyberKnife were retrospectively included in this study. A total dose of 54 Gy in three fractions was prescribed to the planning target volume (PTV). For each patient, non-coplanar micro-multileaf collimator based dynamic conformal arc (DCA), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and circular cone based DCA (cDCA) plans were generated.
