Description
Yan Shao and co-authors compared radiation planning styles for central lung tumours in a 2026 dosimetry study of 20 patients receiving focused high-dose treatment. Simple conformal plans depend heavily on planner skill, while finely modulated plans spare healthy tissue better but are harder to deliver accurately.
For each patient they built four plans: a hybrid mixing both styles and a fully modulated plan, each checked on two treatment machines. Dose to tumour and nearby organs and delivery accuracy were compared. Central tumours sit close to airways and vessels, so a plan style that keeps precision without excess complexity could widen safe access to this treatment.
