Abstract | Purpose: A planning strategy was developed and the utility of online-adaptation with the Ethos CBCT-guided ring-gantry adaptive radiotherapy (ART) system was evaluated using retrospective data from Head-and-neck (H&N) patients that required clinical offline adaptation during treatment. Methods: Clinical data were used to re-plan 20 H&N patients (10 sequential boost (SEQ) with separate base and boost plans plus 10 simultaneous integrated boost (SIB)). An optimal approach, robust to online adaptation, for Ethos-initial plans using clinical goal prioritization was developed. Anatomically-derived isodose-shaping helper structures, air-density override, goals for controlling hotspot location(s), and plan normalization were investigated. Online adaptation was simulated using clinical offline adaptive simulation-CTs to represent an on-treatment CBCT. Dosimetric comparisons were based on institutional guidelines for Clinical-initial versus Ethos-initial plans and Ethos-scheduled versus Ethos-adapted plans. Timing for five components of the online adaptive workflow was analyzed. Results: The Ethos H&N planning approach generated Ethos-initial SEQ plans with clinically comparable PTV coverage (average PTV Conclusions: With an optimal planning approach, Ethos efficiently auto-generated dosimetrically comparable and clinically acceptable initial SEQ plans for H&N patients. Initial SIB plans were inferior and clinically unacceptable, but adapted SIB plans became clinically acceptable. Online adapted plans optimized dose to new anatomy and maintained target coverage/homogeneity with improved OAR sparing in a time-efficient manner. |
