An analysis of plan robustness for oesophageal tumours: comparing volumetric modulated arctherapy plans and spot scanning proton planning

Abstract:
Purpose: Planning studies to compare x-ray and proton techniques and to select the most suitable technique for each patient are hampered by the non-equivalence of several aspects of treatment planning and delivery. A fair comparison should compare similarly advanced delivery techniques from current clinical practice, and also assess the robustness of each technique. This study therefore seeks to compare volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and single-field optimisation (S... Expand abstract
