Dosimetric verification for intensity-modulated radiotherapy of thoracic cancers using experimental and Monte Carlo approaches

Purpose: To investigate the dosimetric accuracy of commercial treatment planning systems used in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for thoracic cancer. Methods and Materials: Clinical IMRT plans for lung and esophageal cancers and mesothelioma were used to investigate the accuracy of dose calc...
