Abstract

The current study demonstrates that the large increase in normal tissue penalty often degrades target dose uniformity without a concomitant large improvement in normal tissue dose, especially in anatomically unfavorable patients. The excessively large normal tissue penalties do not improve treatment plans for patients having unfavorable geometry.
