    Abstract : Robust optimization plays a vital role in proton therapy treatment planning. A monoenergetic beam of protons has a finite range and delivers most of its dose at some specific depth in the patient. This allows the design of treatments that mainly damage the tumor and not any surrounding tissue. READ MORE
