The details of the treatment procedure were previously described in the phase II study [12 (link)]. All patients were immobilized in the supine position using a body immobilization shell system (Pelvicast; Orfit Industries n.v., Wijnegem, Belgium). Images of the radiotherapy planning were taken using a 16 multislice computed tomography (CT) (Aquilion LB, Toshiba Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan). The prescribed dose was set at 75 Gy in 30 fractions covering 95% of the planning target volume. The IMRT plan was created using a treatment planning system (Xio ver. 4.6 system, Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden). Usually, five non-coplanar beams, three coplanar beams from the caudal direction, and two non-coplanar beams from the cranial direction, were arranged to reduce the OARs, such as the lung, spinal cord and the oesophagus. Chemotherapy was not performed during radiotherapy.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
