The present study aims to investigate the dosimetric and radiobiological impact of patient setup errors (PSE) on the target and organs at risk (OAR) of the cervix carcinoma stage IIB patients treated with volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) delivery technique using plan uncertainty parameters module of Varian Eclipse treatment planning system and in-house developed DVH Analyzer program.\n                    <jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>\n                    . A total of 976 VMAT plans were generated to simulate the PSE in the base plan that varies from \u221210 mm to 10 mm in a step size of 1 mm in x\u2013 (lateral), y\u2013 (craniocaudal), and z\u2013 (anteroposterior) directions. The different OAR and tumor (PTV) volumes were delineated in each case. Various plan quality metrics, such as conformity index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI), as well as radiobiological quantities, such as tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue control probability (NTCP), were calculated from the DVH bands generated from the cohort of treatment plans associated with each patient case, using an in-house developed \u2018DVH Analyzer\u2019 program. The extracted parameters were statistically analyzed and compared with the base plan\u2019s dosimetric parameters having no PSE.\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
