Abstract  Objective To propose a new robust optimization method, known as modified worst case method, was proposed, which can enable users to control the trade-off between nominal plan quality and plan robustness. Methods In each iteration of the plan optimization process, the dose value of each voxel in nine scenarios, which corresponded to a nominal scenario and eight perturbed scenarios with range or set-up uncertainties, were calculated and the maximum of deviations of each scenario voxel dose from that of the nominal scenario was included as an additive robust optimization term in the Objective function. A weighting factor probust was used to this robust optimization term to balance the nominal plan quality and plan robustness. Results The robust optimization methods were implemented and compared in an in-house developed robust optimization module. When probust=0.8, compared with conventional optimization, the ΔD95% of CTV was reduced from 9.8 Gy to 7.6 Gy. When probust was reduced from 1 to 0, ΔD95% was increased from 7.0 Gy to 9.8 Gy, whereas the D95% and Dmax of CTV, and the D5% and Dmax of organs at risk (OAR) in the nominal scenario were reduced. Conclusions The proposed modified worst case method can effectively improve the robustness of the plan to the range and set-up uncertainties. Besides, the weighting factor probust in this method can be adopted to control the trade-off between nominal plan quality and plan robustness.
