Analysis of dose distribution between contemporary and standard planning in high-dose-rate endobronchial brachytherapy based on three-dimensional imaging.

Conclusions: Contemporary TP in EB allows one to adjust the dose distribution for individual clinical situations and allows one to improve clinical target volume (CTV) coverage, increase doses to the OAR and increase overall survival. The use of new methods of treatment plans in EB has significantly increased the follow-up to 21 months in a treated group of patients. PMID: 31749856 [PubMed]
