Half‐beam volumetric‐modulated arc therapy in adjuvant radiotherapy for gynecological cancers

The purpose of this study is to introduce half-beam volumetric-modulated arc therapy (HVMAT), an innovative treatment planning technique from our work, for reducing dose to the organs at risk (OAR) during adjuvant radiotherapy for gynecological cancers.Seventy-two treatment plans of 36 patients with gynecological cancers receiving adjuvant radiotherapy were assessed. Among them, 36 plans were designed using HVMAT and paired with the other 36...
