Abbreviations: Vx = volume (%) receiving x dose (Gy) or higher; 3DCRT-FinF = three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy using

field-in-field technique; 5F-IMRT = 5-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy; 2P-VMAT = 2-partial arc volumetric modulated arc therapy.

Data presented as mean ± standard deviation. F values from ANOVA analysis (α = 0.05). p1: 3DCRT & 5F-IMRT;

p2: 3DCRT-FinF & 2P-VMAT; p3: 5F-IMRT & 2P-VMAT. D2% = the maximum dose; D98% = the minimum dose.
