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.
