Impact of interfractional target motion in locally advanced cervical cancer patients treated with spot scanning proton therapy using an internal target volume strategy

Impact of interfractional target motion in locally advanced cervical cancer patients treated with spot scanning proton therapy using an internal target volume strategy

Background and purpose: The more localized dose deposition of proton therapy (PT) compared to photon therapy might allow a reduction in treatment-related side effects but induces additional challenges to address. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of interfractional motion on the targe...
