Background: The aim of this study was to clarify factors predicting the performance of knowledge-based planning (KBP) models in volume modulated arc therapy for prostate cancer in terms of sparing the organ at risk (OAR).Materials and methods: In three institutions, each KBP model was trained by more than 20 library plans (LP) per model. To validate the characterization of each KBP model, 45 validation plans (VP) were calculated by the KBP system. The ratios of overlap between the OAR volume and the planning target volume (PTV) to the whole organ volume (V-overlap/V-whole) were analyzed for each LP and VP. Regression lines between dose-volume parameters (V-90, V-75, and V-50) and V-overlap/V-whole were evaluated. The mean OAR dose, V-90, V-75, and V-50 of LP did not necessarily match those of VP.Results: In both the rectum and bladder, the dose-volume parameters for VP were strongly correlated with V-overlap/V-whole at institutes A, B, and C (R > 0.74, 0.85, and 0.56, respectively). Except in the rectum at institute B, the slopes of the regression lines for LP corresponded to those for VP. For dose-volume parameters for the rectum, the ratios of slopes of the regression lines in VP to those in LP ranged 0.51-1.26. In the bladder, most ratios were less than 1.0 (mean: 0.77).Conclusion: For each OAR, each model made distinct dosimetric characterizations in terms of V-overlap/V-whole. The relationship between dose-volume parameters and V-overlap/V-whole of OARs in LP predicts the KBP models' performance sparing OARs. (C) 2020 Greater Poland Cancer Centre.
