Table 4. Data comparing clinical goals on days where scheduled plan coverage was better.

This table demonstrates improved dosimetry of the esophagus and lungs with adapted plans, while similar target coverage is seen in both scheduled and adapted plans.

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
