A pilot study on the comparison between planning target volume-based intensity-modulated proton therapy plans and robustly optimized intensity-modulated proton therapy plans

The objective of this work is to compare the planning target volume (PTV)-based intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans with robustly optimized IMPT plans using the robust optimization tools available in Pinnacle Treatment Planning System. We performed the study in five cases of different an...
