A control circuit (which may comprise a graphics processing unit) accesses a plurality of radiation treatment planning objectives for a particular patient. The control circuit then optimizes a first candidate radiation treatment plan for the particular patient as a function of those objectives. The control circuit can then detect modification of at least one of those objectives to provide a corresponding one or more modified radiation treatment planning objective. The control circuit can then optimize a second candidate radiation treatment plan as a function of the at least one modified objective. The control circuit can then present, via a shared user display, at least a first dose volume histogram that corresponds to the first treatment plan and at least a second dose volume histogram that corresponds to the second treatment plan. The first and second dose volume histograms can be visually distinguished from one another by other than color.
