The PEREGRINE program, a new approach to planning radiation therapy, has joined the more than 4,000-year search for a cure for cancer. Drawing on 40 years of expertise in radiation physics, LLNL researchers have developed PEREGRINE, a highly accurate computer system for calculating where and how much radiation is absorbed in the body during radiation treatment for cancer and other diseases.
I don't know about this specific program, but I do know that accurate radiation absorption models do exist nowadays and are used in treatment planning. Also, as I mentioned in the post, correlating patient-specific data with historical data about doses delivered, clinical outcomes, etc, is regarded as a key research domain and Big Data challenge...
I went to a talk on it decades ago.
I don't think it ever took off but I was wondering if something similar had
