Abstract

BACKGROUND: Radiotherapy (RT) is involved in about 50% of all cancer patients, making it a very important treatment modality. The most common type of RT is external beam RT, which consists of delivering the radiation to the tumor from outside the body. One novel treatment delivery method is volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), where the gantry continuously rotates around the patient during the radiation delivery.
