Radiotherapy represents an important phase of treatment for a large number of cancer patients. It is essential that resources used to deliver this treatment are employed effectively. This paper presents a new integer linear programming model for real-world radiotherapy treatment scheduling and analyses the effectiveness of using this model on a daily basis in a hospital. Experiments are conducted varying the days on which schedules can be created. Results obtained using real-world data from the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, UK, are presented and show how the proposed model can be used with different policies in order to achieve good quality schedules.
