Inguinal CTV contouring in anal cancer: comparative validation of inguinal lymph nodes contouring guidelines and implications for consensus

These findings validate the proposed guidelines, confirming their effectiveness in reducing unnecessary irradiation of the posterolateral quadrant. However, coverage gaps highlight the need for further refinements to optimize target delineation. These findings offer disease-specific evidence to inform the harmonization of inguinal CTV delineation and support the development of standardized, consensus-based contouring protocols.

Abstract

These findings validate the proposed guidelines, confirming their effectiveness in reducing unnecessary irradiation of the posterolateral quadrant. However, coverage gaps highlight the need for further refinements to optimize target delineation. These findings offer disease-specific evidence to inform the harmonization of inguinal CTV delineation and support the development of standardized, consensus-based contouring protocols.
