摘要: Purpose To determine the gross tumor volume (GTV) to clinical target margin for non–small-cell lung cancer treatment planning. Methods A total of 35 patients with Stage T1N0 adenocarcinoma underwent wedge resection plus immediate lobectomy. The size and microscopic extension distance beyond were measured. nuclear grade percentage bronchoalveolar features analyzed association extension. dimensions measured on a computed tomography (CT) scan (lung mediastinal windows) compared pathologic dimensions. potential coverage two different stereotactic radiotherapy regimens was evaluated. Results mean 7.2 mm varied according (10.1, 7.0, 3.5 Grade 1 3, respectively, p Conclusion For adenocarcinomas, GTV should be contoured using CT windows. Although based windows would underestimate by only 1.2 average case, expansion required cover in 90% cases could as large 9 mm, although considerably smaller high-grade tumors. Fractionation significantly affects dosimetric
