The accuracy of dose evaluation in the surrounding tissues is affected by both the dose calculation algorithms and the accuracy of the Hounsfield unit values in the glottic air cavities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title><jats:p>The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of dose calculation algorithms and material override on glottic surface dose calculations in three\u2010dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) for glottic cancer.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We retrospectively included three patients with early\u2010stage glottic cancer treated with 3DCRT. Treatment planning based on the collapsed cone convolution (CCC) algorithm in the treatment planning system with a 1\u2010mm dose grid was conducted using a prescribed dose of 65\u00a0Gy in 26 fractions. The contours of the glottic air cavities and the surrounding glottic tissues were delineated for material override to air and water, respectively to assign correct materials in dose calculation. Each treatment plan was initially calculated using CCC without material override (CCC_w\/o) and recalculated using CCC with material override (CCC_w) as well as photon Monte Carlo (pMC) algorithm with and without material override (pMC_w and pMC_w\/o, respectively). A 1\u2010mm glottic surface dose (D<jats:sub>99%<\/jats:sub>) was evaluated using CCC_w\/o, CCC_w, pMC_w, and pMC_w\/o.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>PMC_w predicted a \u223c13.0% reduction in the glottic surface dose compared with the prescribed dose. CCC_w\/o, CCC_w, and pMC_w\/o overestimated the dose by \u223c10.0% compared with pMC_w. The difference between CCC_w\/o and pMC_w\/o was minimal (0.6%); pMC_w\/o significantly overestimated (by 10.8%) the dose compared with pMC_w, indicating the significant impact of material override in pMC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Monte Carlo dose calculations with material override are essential for the accurate surface dose calculation in 3DCRT for glottic cancer.
