Setup and target volume shape variation in rectal cancer radiotherapy: a systematic literature review
Setup and TV shape variation are significant and non-negligible geometric uncertainties. Setup errors can largely be minimized with daily (2D or 3D) IGRT, whereas TV shape variations-particularly in the mesorectum-needs to be assessed daily with 3D imaging and requires anisotropic margins.
