Results for two other endpoints: acute esophageal toxicity (left panel) and long-term cardiac mortality (right panel). Two normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models are considered for each endpoint. The left column shows the calculated NTCP for PSPT and IMRT for all patients and the right column shown the respective ΔNTCP. A threshold of 10% was used for esophageal toxicity (grade ≥ 2) while for cardiac toxicity a threshold of 2% was used (shown by the dotted lines).
