Esophagus and contralateral lung-sparing IMRT for locally advanced lung cancer in the community hospital setting

Esophagus and contralateral lung-sparing IMRT for locally advanced lung cancer in the community hospital setting

Background: The optimal technique for performing lung IMRT remains poorly defined. We hypothesize that improved dose distributions associated with normal tissue sparing IMRT can allow for safe dose escalation resulting in decreased acute and late toxicity. Methods: We performed a retrospective an...
