Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) versus 3D-conformal radiation therapy in supra-diaphragmatic Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with mediastinal involvement: A dosimetric comparison
Purpose: To compare volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) with 3D-conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) mediastinal irradiation for stage I–II supra-diaphragmatic Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (HL). Patients and methods: Eleven patients were planned for RT after 4–6 cycles of ABVD chemotherapy: conventional 3...
