arXiv:2610.30424v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning (ML) models for normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) can be embedded directly into inverse treatment planning, but the resulting optimization problems are generally nonconvex, and the choice between global and local optimization involves a trade-off between optimality guarantees and computational cost. Two open-source frameworks for ML-based inverse planning were compared: OptiCL (global mixed-integer optimization via constraint learning) and pyanno4rt (local nonlinear optimization via end-to-end differentiation). Logistic regression, linear support vector machine, and feed-forward neural network NTCP models for grade 2+ xerostomia and grade 2+ radiation pneumonitis were embedded. Plan optimization was performed for eight head-and-neck (HN) photon cases and seven lung proton cases. The plans were compared by target coverage, OAR dose metrics, spatial dose agreement, post-hoc predicted NTCP, and runtime. A
