Abstract
⺠We developed and implemented three genetic algorithms (GAs) for scheduling radiotherapy treatments for different patient categories: (1) Standard-GA, which considers all patient categories equally, (2) KB-GA, which has an embedded knowledge on the scheduling of emergency patient category and (3) Weighted-GA, which operates with different weights given to the patient categories. Performances of generated schedules were compared using real life data and statistical analysis. KB-GA generated the schedules with best performance considering emergency patients and KB-GA and Weighted-GA generated better performance schedules for emergency and palliative patients simultaneously than Standard-GA.
