pubmed:abstractText |
Radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer is complicated by the frequent overlapping of the planning target volume (PTV) and the organ at risk (OAR), limiting the dose that can be safely delivered to the tumour. Individualising the margins applied to the clinical target volume (CTV) may reduce OAR irradiation without increasing the risk of geographical miss. We quantified the movement of the pancreas with respiration and evaluated whether individualised margins based on this motion reduced the dose to OARs.
