Dose-guided individualized planning target volume margin optimization in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a retrospective megavoltage computed tomography–based cumulative analysis
MVCT-based cumulative dose evaluation provides a more accurate assessment of the delivered dose than conventional geometric methods. Individualized, dose-driven PTV margin strategies may improve tumor coverage while minimizing OAR exposure, thereby advancing precision radiotherapy for NPC.
