Abstract
Prior information about patient status and previously archived treatment plans, particularly if performed by expert clinicians, could be used to inform the treating team of a current pending case. This notion of using prior treatment planning information constitutes the underlying principle of the so-called knowledge-based treatment planning (KBTP). In this chapter, we will discuss KBTP and provide some examples highlighting its current status, the role of machine learning, and its potential for decision support in radiotherapy.
