Abstract

This study presents the clinical experiences of the New York Proton Center in employing proton pencil beam scanning (PBS) for the treatment of lung stereotactic body radiation therapy. It encompasses a comprehensive examination of multiple facets, including patient simulation, delineation of target volumes and organs at risk, treatment planning, plan evaluation, quality assurance, and motion management strategies. By sharing the approaches of the New York Proton Center and providing recommendations across simulation, treatment planning, and treatment delivery, it is anticipated that the valuable experience will be provided to a broader proton therapy community, serving as a useful reference for future clinical practice and research endeavors in the field of stereotactic body proton therapy for lung tumors.
