“…Dose/volume histogram (DVH) analysis of such treatment techniques reveals that a significant portion of the ipsilateral lung receives a dose in excess of 80% of the tumor target dose [19,22]. Individually shaped conformal RT fields and use of a conformal three-dimensional radiation therapy treatment planning (3-DRTP) technique provides improved delineation of the target volume to ensure adequate coverage, while minimizing the volume of normal lung, heart, and spinal cord dose in the target volume [19,21,22,[24][25][26]. Quantitative methods for calculating normal tissue sparing in the lung during conformal 3-DRTP have been published [19,22].…”
