Effects of peripherally inserted central catheter on dosimetry of the blood vessel region in volumetric modulated arc therapy planning for lung cancer

Abstract Objective A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is a safe and effective drug delivery method of chemoradiotherapy for lung cancer. However, the risk of vascular damage to patients who require PICC implantation during radiotherapy may be increased. This study compared dosimetry dif...
