Defining the Optimal Time of Adaptive Replanning in Prostate Cancer Patients with Weight Change during Volumetric Arc Radiotherapy: A Dosimetric and Mathematical Analysis Using the Gamma Index

<div>An example of a dose-volume histograms (DVH) of the volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy plan using 10-MV photon energy for a prostate cancer patient. The dose-volume histograms are indicated using the different colors (PTV, red; rectum, orange; bladder, blue) and types of lines (−2.0 cm body contour, square; original body contour, triangle; 2.0 cm body contour, small circle).</div>
