In this dosimetric comparison study it was shown that IMPT with robust planning reduces dose to surrounding organs in cervical and endometrial cancer treatment compared with IMRT. Especially for the para-aortic region, clinically relevant dose reductions were obtained for kidneys, spinal cord and bowel, justifying the use of proton therapy for this indication.
