An assessment of inter and intrafraction prostate mobility using Gold Anchors during prostate cancer patients volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (RapidArc)

Conclusion: The patient positioning using 2D/2D kV and Gold Anchors increases the setup precision and enables to reduce margins. Because the prostate motion during the course of radiotherapy can be significant, margins for the PTV should include the intrafraction prostate mobility.
