Plan Quality Variability in Radiotherapy of Whole Breast and Regional Lymph Nodes: An Intra-institutional Analysis

Although acceptable target coverage was generally achieved, clinically relevant variability in lung dose metrics was observed. These findings highlight the need for further standardization of 3D-CRT planning to improve consistency and optimize plan quality in WB radiotherapy with nodal involvement.

Abstract

Although acceptable target coverage was generally achieved, clinically relevant variability in lung dose metrics was observed. These findings highlight the need for further standardization of 3D-CRT planning to improve consistency and optimize plan quality in WB radiotherapy with nodal involvement.
