Small-volume plan optimization of inoperable early-stage centrally-located non-small-cell lung cancer using VMAT-based SBRT under the DIBH scenario: a single-arc model or a dual-arc plan?
The SA plans significantly shortened the BOT while maintaining comparable plan quality, thereby improving comfort for patients with small-volume inoperable early-stage centrally located NSCLC under the DIBH scenario. Future studies should accumulate more patient data to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of SA plans.
