In elderly patients with tumors < 5 cm and without locoregional lymph node disease, who do not receive chemotherapy, as alternative to normofractionated WBI, hypofractionated schedules (e.g. 5 × 2.666 Gy/week up to 40 Gy) may be considered (LoE 1a, GR B), ...
More homogeneous dose distributions within the target (up to 80% PIL) with a similarly steep dose gradient can be generated by using non-isocentric irradiation technique, careful selection of collimators and appropriate amount of treatment time. Generally, a combination of a mid-sized and a ...
