Comparison of Using Different Techniques of Lung Cancer Treatment Plans

Abstract

It is aimed to compare the tumor volume and critical organ doses of 10 lung cancer patients treated in radiation oncology clinic using different techniques in treatment plans. The plans of the treated patients were evaluated with the Varian Trilogy Linear Accelerator in the eclipse (ver. 13.6) treatment planning system; treatment plans were developed using Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Volumetric Modulated Radiation Therapy (VMAT) techniques. Studies have been conducted in terms of investigating which is the best technique for tumor volume and critical organ doses.
