Dosimetric evaluation of simplified intensity-modulated radiation therapy for thoracic tumors.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the feasibility of multi-parameters combined simplified intensity-modulated radiation therapy (sIMRT) planning in thoracic tumors and provide guidance for clinical practice. A total of 34 patients with thoracic tumors who underwent radiotherapy during 2019 to 2020 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The same experienced medical physicist designed the sIMRT planning. The sIMRT planning limited the maximum number of segments per beam-field, the minimum segment area, and the minimum number of segment monitor units (MU), remaining consistent with the conventional intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Comparative analysis of the difference in the irradiation dose to the tumor target area, and organs at risk, and delivery validate between 2 groups. The sIMRT slight
