Potential for Improvements in Robustness and Optimality of Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy for Lung Cancer with 4-Dimensional Robust Optimization

Major challenges in the application of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for lung cancer patients include the uncertainties associated with breathing motion, its mitigation and its consideration in IMPT optimization. The primary objective of this research was to evaluate the potential of fou...
