PD-0283: 4D dose accumulation for dose painting by numbers for lung cancer

In conventional radiotherapy of locally advanced lung cancer (LALC) doses levels are homogeneously delivered to the entire PTV, whereat dose escalation is restricted by normal tissue toxicity. Several studies have shown the geometrical correlation between high FDG uptake in a PET scan and tumour recurrence. This is the rationale for FDG-based local dose escalation, e.g. by dose prescription on the voxel values of a PET scan – dose painting by numbers (DPBN). The aim of this study is to investigate the robustness of the DPBN plans against tumour motio
