Abbreviations: AP, anterior–posterior; CBCT, cone beam computed tomography; CT, computed tomography; DCS, Dice similarity coefficients; PTV, planning target volume; RL, right–left.

aThe actual dose is the median predicted treatment dose per fraction. AP: median posterior motion. PTV: median movement away (+) or towards (−) the PTV. DSC: median DSC between the esophagus contours for each CBCT scan versus the planning CT scan with a lower DSC representing overlap. RL: median leftward motion.
