Online CBCT-based adaptive radiation with reduced PTV margins for prostate cancer: Does reference plan comparison tell the whole story?
In the era of online ART, with significant data available, such as daily treated plan dosimetry, analysis of reference plans alone may not be sufficient. PTV margin reduction, made possible due to the use of online ART, reduced the volume of bladder and rectum receiving <60 Gy, which may reduce toxicity and secondary malignancy risk.
