Transmission beam planning for improved robustness and efficiency in proton therapy for head and neck cancer
IMPT-TB plans demonstrated enhanced robustness and significantly faster delivery compared to IMPT. Transmission beams could be clinically implemented, also in conjunction with standard IMPT, for proton radiation treatment of NPC.
