A simple algorithm to predict non‐compliance with organ at risk dose‐volume constraints when planning intensity modulated post‐prostatectomy radiation treatment: ‘Why we should put the CART before the horse’

It is not always apparent when the optimal IMRT/VMAT plan for post‐prostatectomy radiotherapy (PPRT) has been achieved. Individual variation in patient anatomy is a key contributor. This study aimed to create a model to determine the probability of rectum and/or bladder doses exceeding planning goals based on individual patient anatomy prior to planning.
