Investigation of Predictors to Achieve Acceptable Lung Dose in T-Shaped Upper and Middle Esophageal Cancer With IMRT and VMAT

Investigation of Predictors to Achieve Acceptable Lung Dose in T-Shaped Upper and Middle Esophageal Cancer With IMRT and VMAT

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate whether there are predictors and cutoff points that can predict the acceptable lung dose using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volume-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in radiotherapy for upper ang middle esophageal cancer.Material and M...
