Treatment planning techniques and approaches for various anatomical structures are investigated. Dosimetry concepts and fractionation schedules are applied in multiple scenarios to demonstrate maximum efficiency for tumor control outcomes. Tolerance doses of organs at risk (OARs) are examined and planning strategies are evaluated to minimize tissue consequences.
