GTV_cc | 16.4 (21.5) | 51.1 (54.4) | 0.0065 |
PTV (cm) | 4.90 (1.48) | 6.71 (1.97) | <.0001 |
PTV_cc | 43.2 (38.9) | 88.7 (74.7) | 0.0100 |
# of separate group of OARs | 1.66 (0.81) | 3.45 (1.34) | <.0001 |
Distance to adjusted structures (GTV cm) | 0.88 (0.54) | 0.26 (0.22) | <.0001 |
Distance to adjusted structures (PTV cm) | 0.48 (0.36) | 0.19 (0.18) | 0.0001 |
Central+Peripheral: central and peripheral lesions for which all the dose constraints were met. Centralno: central lesions for which ≥1 dose constraints were not met. Std. dev.: standard deviation. GTV: gross tumor volume. PTC: planning target volume. #: number. cm: centimeter. cc: cubic centimeter. OARs: organs at risk.
