Implementing the optimized hippo‐avoidance prophylactic cranial irradiation for limited‐stage small cell lung cancer by tomotherapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy

Abstract Background Hippo‐avoidance prophylactic cranial irradiation (HA‐PCI) requires a hippocampal avoidance zone expanded from hippocampus to ensure dose fall‐off and compensate for setup errors. Most studies recommend a 5‐mm margin, while it could be optimized to a 2‐mm expansion. Here, we showe...
