Robust optimization in 4D treatment planning for carbon ion therapy of lung tumors

Particle therapy (PT) with scanned carbon ions has been shown to improve the treatment of stage IV lung cancer patients through reduced dose exposure of critical organs. In order to maximize this effect, the application of intensity modulated particle therapy (IMPT) is needed. However, PT is partic...
