Abstract:Background
Several studies have reported the potential prognostic significance of tumor volume reduction ratio (VRR) induced by radiotherapy (RT) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. However, there are no data yet on the prognostic significance of volumetric shrinkage in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). This study aimed to demonstrate the correlation between tumor volume reduction ratio and treatment outcomes.
