The patient's arm position significantly affects dose distribution in organs at risk, particularly thyroid.
Dose parameters for planning target volume showed no significant differences between the two arm positions.
Radiotherapy parameters including TCP and NTCP were evaluated alongside dose metrics for the planning target volume.
Optimal arm positioning during treatment can improve clinical outcomes and reduce risks for specific organs.
