Advanced optimization methods for whole pelvic and local prostate external beam therapy

Advanced optimization methods for whole pelvic and local prostate external beam therapy

Highlights • MCO and conventional optimization were compared in prostate treatment planning. • VMAT–MCO and standard VMAT optimization had similar plan quality. • Hands-on planning time was reduced considerably with MCO. • Whole-pelvic VMAT planning with 2 dose levels is also challenging with MCO....
