Role of CTV expansion in H & N and Lung primary
Anyone routinely skipping CTV expansions off the GTV (that are taken to the gross disease dose) in the following situations:
1) H&N definitive RT/ChemoRT, omitting a 70Gy 'CTV' expansion of 3-5mm for the primary, in say a Oropharynx patient
2) Same as #1, but for a positive lymph node
3) Definitive chemoRT for lung cancer (NSCLC, LS-SCLC), in regards to the primary
4) Same as #3, but for positive lymph nodes
