Background; Uncertainties associated with the delivery of treatment to moving organs might compromise the accuracy of treatment. This study explores the impact of intra-fractional anatomical changes in pancreatic patients treated with charged particles delivered using a scanning beam. The aim of this paper is to define the potential source of uncertainties, quantify their effect, and to define clinically feasible strategies to reduce them. Methods: The study included 14 patients treated at our facility with charged particles (protons or 12C) using intensity modulated particle therapy (IMPT). Treatment plans were optimized using the Treatment Planning System (TPS) Syngo® RT Planning. The pre-treatment dose distribution under motion (4D) w...
