Abstract

Computed tomography (CT)-based planning utilizing conformal techniques is the standard of care for NSCLC and SCLC. Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) both involve the utilization of a number of beam angles and the generation of a dosevolume histogram.
