Functional lung avoidance in radiotherapy using optimisation of biologically effective dose with non-coplanar beam orientations

Background and purpose: In external beam radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, dose to functioning lung should be minimised to reduce lung morbidity. This study aimed to develop a method for avoiding beam delivery through functional lung and to quantify the possible benefit to the patients. M...
