    Area of Science:

    • Radiation Oncology
    • Medical Physics
    • Cancer Immunology

    Background:

    • Conventional radiotherapy faces limitations with bulky tumors due to dose toxicity and failure to exploit tumor heterogeneity.
    • Higher therapeutic doses increase healthy tissue toxicity and may not effectively target radio-resistant tumor zones.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce an innovative Lattice radiotherapy approach for heterogeneous partial irradiation.
    • To develop and present a Lattice-based algorithm for automated vertex generation and 3D distribution in tumors.
    • To enhance tumor treatment by promoting immunogenic cell death and sparing organs at risk.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a Lattice-based algorithm utilizing DICOM RT files (CT images, segmentations).
    • Automated generation and 3D distribution of high-dose vertices within the tumor volume.
    • Implemented a graphical user interface for parameter adjustment (diameter, spacing) and sphere modification.

    Main Results:

    • The algorithm enables precise 3D adjustment of vertex distribution, diameter, and location.
    • Facilitates optimization of high-dose spheres within the tumor, improving target coverage.
    • Demonstrates enhanced precision in both 2D and 3D space for radiotherapy planning.

    Conclusions:

    • The Lattice-based algorithm provides a clinically significant tool for radiation oncologists.
    • Optimizes tumor irradiation by tailoring vertex distribution, enhancing efficacy and reducing toxicity.
    • Improves therapeutic outcomes and patient quality of life through precise, adaptive radiotherapy planning.
