Association of Target Volume Margins with Locoregional Control and Acute Toxicities for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy
ConclusionsSmaller margins were used for larger tumors, yet were not associated with an increase in locoregional failures. Additional studies could clarify whether smaller margins, when used alongside modern radiotherapy techniques, decrease treatment-related toxicity for inoperable NSCLC.
