A systematic review on the clinical implementation of 4D particle therapy.
Systematic review advances consensus on managing tumor motion in particle therapy, improving treatment precision.
Intrafractional motion in the thoracic and abdominal regions remains a major challenge in particle therapy representing one of the key anatomical changes during radiotherapy. This review represents an important step towards establishing consensus and developing guidelines for treating moving targets in particle therapy.
