Variables altering the impact of respiratory gated CT simulation on planning target volume in radiotherapy for lung cancer

ConclusionThe use of 4D-simulation reduces the PTV for the primary tumor in lung cancer cases. Further studies with larger samples are required to confirm the benefit of 4D-simulation in decreasing PTV in lung cancer.
