(NSCLC) patients treated with Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). Normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models have been developed to describe the relation between the planned dose and the risk of RIRF. Anatomical changes during treatment can cause dosimetric differences between the planned and delivered dose, so that the estimated NTCP models may no longer be valid. This study aims to determine if the use of the delivered dose in NTCP models is a better predictor of 353 NSCLC patients treated to a median of 3x18 Gy were included in this study. Cone beam CTs (CBCTs) were acquired prior to each fraction for patient positioning. RIRFs were diagnosed on follow-up (FU) CT scans acquired at 4 months post SBRT, every 6 months for 2 years and annually until year 5. Ribs outside the CBCT field-of-view were not considered (5338 ribs, 63%). Each fraction’s dose distribution was approximated by shifting the planned dose to the daily tumor location followed by conversion to biologically equivalent dose (EQD2) with α/β=3 Gy. The total delivered dose was estimated by deforming each corrected fraction dose onto the planning anatomy (using CBCT-to-planning CT deformable image registration) and accumulating all fractions. Ribs were automatically segmented using atlas based segmentation. A dose volume histogram was computed per rib, and dosimetric parameters D x (dose to volume x; range 0-50%) extracted. NTCP models for both planned and delivered dose were built by maximizing the likelihood to correctly classify fracture, optimizing TD 50 (dose with 50% toxicity risk) and m (steepness of the curve) for all D x . The best dosimetric RIRF predictor for each dose distribution and the best NTCP model were selected using Akaike weights (relative likelihoods). Differences between model parameters were tested for significance using the log likelihood ratio test by applying the TD 50 and m from the 2 distributions jointly or separately to the delivered dose. Results 80 symptomatic RIRF out of 8472 ribs (0.94%) were observed with a median time to fracture of 24.4 months and a median FU of 24.7 months. D 0 was the best RIRF predictor for both dose distributions. NTCP models of planned and delivered dose (Figure 1) presented Akaike weights of 0.28 and 0.72 respectively. The NTCP model based on planned dose showed a non-significantly higher TD 50 than for delivered dose, while m remained the same for both distributions. The model based on delivered dose gave a better fit (higher Akaike weights), which was not significant (Table 1). RIRF than planned dose. Material and Methods

Results In the testing set, the best AUC among all the tested methods of 0.68 (sensitivity 0.77, specificity 0.60) was obtained with random forest relying on the proposed modules, combining DVH and clinical variables and successfully predicting RB at 3 years in 17 patients out of 22 with RB (with however 95 false positives). The AUC of the other classifiers ranged from 0.54 to 0.66 (table 1 and table 2). Majority voting did not improve the results. Without the proposed modules(Table 1 and Table 2), all classifiers reached lower AUC (0.42-0.60). Standard Logistic regression performed poorly (AUC 0.52, sensitivity 0.54, specificity 0.53).

Conclusion ML/DL techniques including covariate shift as well as imbalance adaptation can achieve higher predictive ability of RB after RT in PC in a multicentric context, compared to standard modeling approaches (logistic regression).
