Average values and standard deviations are given.
1[14] Use the volume of both lungs minus CTV for MLD and V20Gy; PTV V95% > 99% and PTV V107% < 1%.
2[15] Use the volume of both lungs minus PTV for V20Gy; PTV V95% > 97% and PTV V107% < 5%.
3[16] Use the volume of both lungs minus PTV for MLD, V20Gy and V5Gy; D98% > 57.0 Gy and D2% < 64.2 Gy.
4 This study uses the volume of both lungs minus ITV for MLD, and volume of both lungs minus PTV for V20Gy and V5Gy.
PTV V90% > 99% and PTV V110% ≤ 1%.
5 Median instead of average value is given.
