A study to investigate the influence of cardiac motion on the robustness of pencil beam scanning proton plans in oesophageal cancer

While proton therapy offers an excellent dose conformity and sparing of organs at risk, this can be compromised by uncertainties, e.g. organ motion. This study aimed to investigate the influence of cardiac motion on the contoured oesophagus using electrocardiogram-triggered imaging and to assess the...
