To determine the optimal planning target volume (PTV) margins for adequate coverage by daily iterative cone-beam computed tomography (iCBCT)-guided online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) in postoperative treatment of endometrial and cervical cancer and the benefit of reducing PTV margins. Fifteen postoperative endometrial and cervical cancer patients treated with daily iCBCT-guided oART were enrolled in this prospective phase 2 study. Pre- and posttreatment iCBCT images of 125 fractions from 5 patients were obtained as a training cohort, and clinical target volumes (CTV) were contoured separately. Uniform three-dimensional expansions were applied to the PTVpre to assess the minimum margin required to encompass the CTVpost. The dosimetric advantages of the proposed online adaptive margins were compared with conventional margin plans (7–15 mm) using an oART emulator in another cohort of 125 iCBCT scans. A CTV-to-PTV expansion was verified on a validation cohort of 253 fractions from 10 patients, and further margin reduction and acute toxicity were studied. The average time from pretreatment iCBCT to posttreatment iCBCT was 22 min. A uniform PTV margin of 5 mm could encompass nodal CTVpost in 100% of the fractions (175/175) and vaginal CTVpost in 98% of the fractions (172/175). The margin of 5 mm was verified in our validation cohort, and the nodal PTV margin could be further reduced to 4 mm if ≥ 95% CTV coverage was predicted to be achieved. The adapted plan with a 5 mm margin significantly improved pelvic organ-at-risk dosimetry compared with the conventional margin plan. Grade 3 toxicities were observed in only one patient with leukopenia, and no patients experienced acute urinary toxicity. In the postoperative treatment of endometrial and cervical cancer, oART could reduce PTV margins to 5 mm, which significantly decrease the dose to critical organs at risk and potentially lead to a lower incidence of acute toxicity.
