Evidence is accumulating that radiotherapy of non-small cell lung cancer patients can be
optimized by escalating the tumour dose until the normal tissue tolerances are met. To …

For non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), unsatisfactory local control (LC) still remains an
important cause of failure. It has been suggested that improved LC can be achieved with …

PURPOSE: To systematically evaluate four different techniques of radiation therapy (RT)
used to treat non–small-cell lung cancer and to determine their efficacy in meeting multiple …

PURPOSE: To provide a prescription dose for Monte Carlo (MC) treatment planning in
patients with non-small-cell lung cancer according to tumor size and location. METHODS …

PURPOSE: To quantify the differences in doses to target volumes and critical thoracic
structures calculated by traditional homogeneous point–dose prescription and heterogeneity …

Lung cancer remains the most common and deadly cancer worldwide [1]. Non-small cell
lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 85% of lung cancers, where locally advanced (LA) …

Background. Accurate target volume segmentation is crucial for success in image-guided
radiotherapy. However, variability in anatomical segmentation is one of the most significant …

Radiotherapy (RT) plays a major role in the curative treatment of locally advanced non-small
cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Therefore, the ACROP committee was asked by the ESTRO to …

Purpose: To determine how much the radiation dose to lung tumors could be increased as
the margins used to generate planning target volume (PTV) are reduced. Methods and …

PURPOSE: To indicate which clinical target volume (CTV) margin (if any) is needed for an
adequate treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using either 3D conformal or …
