The prognostic value of volumetric changes of the primary tumor measured on Cone Beam-CT during radiotherapy for concurrent chemoradiation in NSCLC patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Three different subgroups of GTV-volume change during treatment were identified. Surprisingly, these subgroups did not differ in their risk of treatment outcomes. Only patients with a larger GTV at baseline had a significantly worse OS. Therefore, risk stratification at baseline might already be accurate in identifying the best treatment strategy for most patients.
