    VCAP is an anatomy-driven automated planning strategy for whole pelvic radiotherapy that enhances target coverage and organ-at-risk sparing.

  • 2

    The study demonstrated that VCAP achieved V95 above 95%, comparable to clinical planning and other automated strategies.

  • 3

    VCAP significantly reduced rectal doses by an average of 24.6% compared to clinical planning, improving bladder and bowel bag sparing as well.

  • 4

    Planning efficiency improved markedly, with VCAP reducing mean planning time from 120 minutes to 21 minutes.

  • 5

    The findings suggest VCAP may enhance planning efficiency and consistency in clinical practice, warranting further validation.
