Purpose: Spatially fractionated radiation therapy (SFRT) is an irradiation technique developed to improve large cancer response. Although preliminary studies report highly positive results, data are still limited. The aim of this retrospective monocentric study was to investigate SFRT safety and activity.

Due to tumour shape heterogeneity, finding the best lattice arrangement is not trivial. The aim of this study was to develop the LatticeOpt tool to generate the best lattice structures on clinical cases for treatment planning.

While the results are shown to be promising, these studies still have many pitfalls and limitations. One of the main issues of these studies is that radiomic features depend on how the images are preprocessed before their computation.

- * A total of 16 new patients were analyzed to assess the variability in predicted dose-volume-histograms (DVH) for the heart and lungs, finding low inter-institutional variability with standard deviations of 1.8% for the ipsilateral lung and 1.6% for the heart.
- * The results indicated that the KB models were highly transferable with minimal differences, suggesting the potential for developing standard benchmark models for improving treatment consistency in TF-WBI.
