We included CT data of five patients with tumors in the sinonasal region. Using the planning CT, we generated for each patient 25 \u2018synthetic\u2019 CTs with varying nasal cavity filling. The robust optimization method available in our treatment planning system \u2018Erasmus-iCycle\u2019 was extended to also account for anatomical uncertainties by including (synthetic) CTs with varying patient anatomy as error scenarios in the inverse optimization. For each patient, we generated treatment plans using anatomical robust optimization and, for benchmarking, using SFUD optimization and online plan adaptation. Clinical target volume (CTV) and organ-at-risk (OAR) doses were assessed by recalculating the treatment plans on the synthetic CTs, evaluating dose distributions individually and accumulated over an entire fractionated 50 Gy\n                    <jats:sub>RBE<\/jats:sub>\n                    treatment, assuming each synthetic CT to correspond to a 2 Gy\n                    <jats:sub>RBE<\/jats:sub>\n                    fraction. Treatment plans were also evaluated using actual repeat CTs. Anatomical robust optimization resulted in adequate CTV doses (V\n                    <jats:sub>95%<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009\u2009\u2a7e\u2009\u200998% and V\n                    <jats:sub>107%<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009\u2009\u2a7d\u2009\u20092%) if at least three synthetic CTs were included in addition to the planning CT. These CTV requirements were also fulfilled for online plan adaptation, but not for the SFUD approach, even when applying a margin of 5\u2009mm. Compared with anatomical robust optimization, OAR dose parameters for the accumulated dose distributions were on average 5.9 Gy\n                    <jats:sub>RBE<\/jats:sub>\n                    (20%) higher when using SFUD optimization and on average 3.6 Gy\n                    <jats:sub>RBE<\/jats:sub>\n                    (18%) lower for online plan adaptation. In conclusion, anatomical robust optimization effectively accounted for changes in nasal cavity filling during IMPT, providing substantially improved CTV and OAR doses compared with conventional SFUD optimization. OAR doses can be further reduced by using online plan adaptation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6560\/aa9c1c","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,21]],"date-time":"2017-11-21T09:45:13Z","timestamp":1511257513000},"page":"025020","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Anatomical robust optimization to account for nasal cavity filling variation during intensity-modulated proton therapy: a comparison with conventional and adaptive planning strategies"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"63","author":[{"given":"Steven","family":"van de Water","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Albertini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Damien C","family":"Weber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ben J M","family":"Heijmen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mischa S","family":"Hoogeman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antony J","family":"Lomax","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmbaa9c1cbib001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1430","DOI":"10.3109\/0284186X.2013.813640","type":"journal-article","article-title":"A margin-of-the-day online adaptive intensity-modulated radiotherapy strategy for cervical cancer provides superior treatment accuracy compared to clinically recommended margins: a dosimetric evaluation","volume":"52","author":"Ahmad","year":"2013","journal-title":"Acta Oncol."},{"key":"pmbaa9c1cbib002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4399","DOI":"10.1088\/0031-9155\/56\/14\/011","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Is it necessary to plan with safety margins for actively scanned proton therapy?","volume":"56","author":"Albertini","year":"2011","journal-title":"Phys.
