Dosimetric comparison of sequential planning (SP) versus bias dose planning (BDP) in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)‐based breast radiotherapy boost

Key Points

• To compare the dosimetric effectiveness of bias dose planning versus sequential planning in breast radiotherapy.
• Conducted a dosimetric comparison between sequential planning (SP) and bias dose planning (BDP) techniques.
• Utilized volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for treatment planning.
• Analyzed differences in organ sparing and target coverage between both planning approaches.
• Bias dose planning improved sparing of critical organs without reducing target coverage.
• Plan quality remained high with the use of bias dose planning compared to sequential planning.
