Riassunto
La pianificazione di un trattamento radioterapico e la successiva erogazione della dose dipendono in misura critica da un’accurata definizione del volume bersaglio (target); tale definizione rappresenta il risultato dell’integrazione di informazioni di tipo clinico, di diagnostica strumentale e di conoscenze biologiche di ogni specifica neoplasia, nonché dell’esperienza dell’operatore.
