Evaluation of plan quality and robustness of IMPT and helical IMRT for cervical cancer

Abstract Background Both plan quality and robustness were investigated through comparing some dosimetric metrics between intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and helical tomotherapy based intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for cervical cancer. Methods Both a spot-scanning robust (SRO) IMPT...
