The Relationship between Primary Gross Tumor Volume and Tumor Response of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: pGTV as a More Accurate Tumor Size Indicator

The Relationship between Primary Gross Tumor Volume and Tumor Response of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: pGTV as a More Accurate Tumor Size Indicator

Purpose: To identify the clinical predictive factors of tumor response and to evaluate the significance of primary gross tumor volume (pGTV), obtained from radiotherapy planning, in predicting tumor response. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data of consecutive locally advanced rec...
