In proton therapy with pencil beam scanning (PBS), repainting mitigates respiratory motion effects but increases treatment time, burdening patients who must remain on the couch for extended periods. To address this challenge, we propose an advanced planning s...

Dose-mimicking aims to generate treatment plans based on a reference dose distribution. The importance of dose-mimicking has grown substantially due to the increasing demand for rapid plan adaptation in adaptive radiotherapy—particularly in proton therapy, wh...

Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) with pencil beam scanning (PBS) delivers sequential proton spots as the fundamental delivery unit. By tuning each spot’s spatial position, energy level, and fluence intensity, it enables layer-by-layer tumor target do...

Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is the gold standard for dose calculation in radiation therapy, as it can accurately reproduce the interaction processes between photons and human tissues in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and generate high-precision...

High-risk locally advanced cervical cancer (HR-LACC) remains challenging due to its heterogeneous prognosis and high recurrence rates, underscoring the need for precise and personalized treatment strategies. This study aims to develop and validate an interpre...
