Simultaneous Integrated Boost Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Can Benefit the Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Patients With Clinically Positive Lateral Pelvic Lymph Node

Simultaneous Integrated Boost Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Can Benefit the Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Patients With Clinically Positive Lateral Pelvic Lymph Node

Background and PurposeThe optimal treatment modality for clinically positive lateral pelvic lymph node (LPLN) from locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) is unknown. Thus, we aimed to analyze the optimal radiotherapy dose for clinically positive LPLN from LARC.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively...
