Table 2. Contour volumes and the percent change in the adapted volumes compared to the reference planning volumes.

GTV: gross tumor volume; PTV: planning target volume; PTV_OPT: planning target volume optimized (PTV – (Bronchus Small Airway +0.3 cm) – (Heart/Pericardium + 0.2 cm) – Trachea Large Bronchus); GTV_OPT: gross tumor volume optimized (PTV_OPT – 0.3 cm).
