DVH- and NTCP-based dosimetric comparison of different longitudinal margins for VMAT-IMRT of esophageal cancer
Abstract Purpose To cover the microscopic tumor spread in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (SCC), longitudinal margins of 3–4 cm are used for radiotherapy (RT) protocols. However, smaller margins of 2–3 cm might be reasonable when advanced diagnostic imaging is integrated into target volume...
