Dosimetric Planning Comparison for Left Ventricle Avoidance in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Radiotherapy
Minimizing the LV dose in NSCLC RT plans is achievable and dosimetrically advantageous for the heart while maintaining dose constraints to the normal lung and maximizing tumor control. Radiation dose reduction to cardiac substructures may decrease the RICD risk in NSCLC patients.
