Respiratory motion effects and plan robustness for lattice radiation therapy
Large tumor motion can degrade LRT dose distributions, which could lead to less effective treatments. Suggested cutoffs of 1 cm motion for 1.5 cm sphere plans and 0.5 cm motion for 1 cm sphere plans are proposed above which motion limiting strategies should be applied. Caution should be applied for tumors with large deformations, as these may change the dose distributions in unexpected ways.
