    Abstract Purpose: To quantify inter-institute variability of Knowledge-Based (KB) models for right breast cancer patients treated with tangential fields whole breast irradiation (WBI).
    Materials and methods: Ten institutions set KB models by using RapidPlan (Varian Inc.), following previously shared methodologies. Models were tested on 20 new patients from the same institutes, exporting DVH predictions of heart, ipsilateral lung, contralateral lung, and contralateral breast. Inter-institute variability was quantified by the inter-institute SD
    Results: The overall inter-institute variability of DVH/Dmean ipsilateral lung dose prediction, was less than 2% (20%-80% dose range) and 0.55 Gy respectively (1SD) for a 40 Gy in 15 fraction schedule; it was < 0.2 Gy for other OARs. Institute 6 showed the lowest mean dose prediction value and no overlap between PTV and ipsilateral lung. Once excluded, the predicted ipsilateral lung Dmean was correlated with median PTV D99% (R
    Conclusions: Results show limited inter-institute variability of plan prediction models translating in high inter-institute interchangeability, except for one of ten institutes. These results encourage future investigations in generating benchmarks for plan prediction incorporating inter-institute variability.

    Abstract This study quantified the incidental dose to the first axillary level (L1) in locoregional treatment plan for breast cancer. Eighteen radiotherapy centres contoured L1-L4 on three different patients (P1,2,3), created the L2-L4 planning target volume (single centre planning target volume, SC-PTV) and elaborated a locoregional treatment plan. The L2-L4 gold standard clinical target volume (CTV) along with the gold standard L1 contour (GS-L1) were created by an expert consensus. The SC-PTV was then replaced by the GS-PTV and the incidental dose to GS-L1 was measured. Dosimetric data were analysed with Kruskal-Wallis test. Plans were intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)-based. P3 with 90° arm setup had statistically significant higher L1 dose across the board than P1 and P2, with the mean dose (Dmean) reaching clinical significance. Dmean of P1 and P2 was consistent with the literature (77.4% and 74.7%, respectively). The incidental dose depended mostly on L1 proportion included in the breast fields, underlining the importance of the setup, even in case of IMRT.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine interobserver variability in axillary nodal contouring in breast cancer (BC) radiotherapy (RT) by comparing the clinical target volume of participating single centres (SC-CTV) with a gold-standard CTV (GS-CTV).
    Methods: The GS-CTV of three patients (P1, P2, P3) with increasing complexity was created in DICOM format from the median contour of axillary CTVs drawn by BC experts, validated using the simultaneous truth and performance-level estimation and peer-reviewed. GS-CTVs were compared with the correspondent SC-CTVs drawn by radiation oncologists, using validated metrics and a total score (TS) integrating all of them.
    Results: Eighteen RT centres participated in the study. Comparative analyses revealed that, on average, the SC-CTVs were smaller than GS-CTV for P1 and P2 (by -29.25% and -27.83%, respectively) and larger for P3 (by +12.53%). The mean Jaccard index was greater for P1 and P2 compared to P3, but the overlap extent value was around 0.50 or less. Regarding nodal levels, L4 showed the highest concordance with the GS. In the intra-patient comparison, L2 and L3 achieved lower TS than L4. Nodal levels showed discrepancy with GS, which was not statistically significant for P1, and negligible for P2, while P3 had the worst agreement. DICE similarity coefficient did not exceed the minimum threshold for agreement of 0.70 in all the measurements.
    Conclusions: Substantial differences were observed between SC- and GS-CTV, especially for P3 with altered arm setup. L2 and L3 were the most critical levels. The study highlighted these key points to address.
    Advances in knowledge: The present study compares, by means of validated geometric indexes, manual segmentations of axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer from different observers and different institutions made on radiotherapy planning CT images. Assessing such variability is of paramount importance, as geometric uncertainties might lead to incorrect dosimetry and compromise oncological outcome.
