Stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy with dynamic conformal multiple arc therapy for liver tumors: Optimal isodose line fitting to the planning target volume

During SABR treatment planning using DCMAT for liver tumors, target doses increased as the percentage isodose value decreased, which could result in better outcomes. In contrast, a 70% isodose plan had the lowest normal liver dose and a 60% isodose plan had the second lowest. An optimal percentage isodose level might be adjusted depending on tumor radiation sensitivity and liver function reserve. Further investigation is warranted to determine whether these dosimetric advantages result in improved outcomes.
