Thermoradiotherapy Optimization Strategies Accounting for Hyperthermia Delivery Uncertainties
The combined effect of hyperthermia and radiation therapy can be quantified by an enhanced equivalent radiation dose (EQD Using Plan2Heat, we computed preplanning hyperthermia plans and treatment adjustment scenarios for 3 cervical cancer patients. We imported these scenarios into RayStation 12A for optimization with 4 different strategies: (1) conventional radiation therapy optimization prescribing 46 Gy to the planning target volume (PTV), (2) nominal EQD EQD EQD
