Implementation of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), which permits far greater control of dose distribution, requires proper selection and delineation of target volumes, and adequate control of setup uncertainties. The present manuscript intends to review available data on selection and delineation of target volumes for primary tumor and neck nodes. Setup uncertainties and how they influence the PTV delineation are also discussed.
三维适形放射治疗(3D-CRT)和调强放射治疗(IMRT)的实施允许对剂量分布进行更好的控制,这需要正确选择和勾画靶区体积,并充分控制摆位不确定性。本手稿旨在综述有关原发性肿瘤和颈部淋巴结靶区体积选择和勾画的现有数据。还讨论了摆位不确定性及其对计划靶区(PTV)勾画的影响。
