Optimization of beam weights in conformal radiotherapy planning of stage III non–small cell lung cancer: effects on therapeutic ratio

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of beam weight optimization for 3D conformal radiotherapy plans, with or without beam intensity modulation, in Stage III non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods and Materials: Ten patients with Stage III NSCLC were planned using a conventional 3D technique and a...
