Table 2. Comparison of scheduled plan with adapted plan.

This table highlights the statistically significant superiority of the adaptive plans over the scheduled plans in comparing the coverage and dose constraints of the esophagus and lungs.

GTV, gross tumor volume; PTV, planning target volume; V95, volume receiving 95% of the dose; Dmax, maximum point dose; Dmean, mean dose; V20, volume receiving 2000 cGy; SD, standard deviation
