Assessing Axis-specific Set-up Errors in Rectal Cancer Radiotherapy: A Prospective Cone-beam Computed Tomography-Based Study with Body Mass Index Correlation
Nonuniform, axis-specific margins are essential to accommodate anatomical and physiological variability in rectal cancer radiotherapy. The use of daily CBCT significantly enhanced set-up precision. Findings align with ICRU 62/83 and QUANTEC recommendations and support individualized planning approaches, especially in diverse patient populations where BMI and pelvic anatomy may affect positioning accuracy.
