Conclusion: The previously proposed DVH threshold for adaptation could not be prospectively validated. The selected thresholds seem too strict and would result in too many false positives. To enable a clinically applicable adaptation protocol we suggest to use DVH parameters linked to TCP and NTCP differences.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
