Dosimetric impact of sparing base of heart on organ at risk doses during lung radiotherapy
Implementing a cardiac avoidance area in lung RT planning significantly reduces doses to critical heart regions without compromising the safety of other organs. This approach holds promise for reducing cardiac-related adverse events and improving overall survival in patients with lung cancer undergoing RT.
