Association of Target Volume Margins With Locoregional Control and Acute Toxicities for Non-small cell lung cancer Treated With Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy

Abstract: Smaller margins were used for larger tumors but were not associated with an increase in locoregional failures. Additional studies could clarify whether smaller margins, when used alongside modern radiation therapy techniques, decrease treatment-related toxicity for inoperable NSCLC.

“…The radiation treatment planning including details regarding simulation, immobilization, target volumes, and dose constraints were consistent with our institution's standardized approach for patients with lung cancer. 16 Contouring was performed in Eclipse (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA), the tumor was delineated by the physician, and lung tissue was determined by the clinical segmentation wizard and reviewed by the physician. Treatment planning was performed in Eclipse using the Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm (version 11.0-15.6) with 6 MV, 10 MV, or 15 MV treatment energies depending on the patient habitus.…”

“…SBRT combines the conformality of IMRT with robust immobilization methods to ablate lesions with millimeter accuracy inside the body. This may allow ablation of metastatic lesions or retreatment of measurable disease in previously radiated fields safely [ 34 ]. SBRT combined with best systemic therapy for measurable disease recurrence may allow for optimal treatment of recurrent disease or delaying of initiation of systemic therapy.…”
