1 Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for Centrally Located Early Stage Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: What We Have Learned  Joe Y. Chang, MD, PhD, Andrea Bezjak, MD, Françoise Mornex  Journal of Thoracic Oncology  Volume 10, Issue 4, Pages (April 2015) DOI: /JTO Copyright © 2015 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

2 FIGURE 1 Recommended definition of central lesion: a tumor within 2 cm in all directions of any mediastinal critical structure, including the bronchial tree, esophagus, heart, brachial plexus, major vessels, spinal cord, phrenic nerve, and recurrent laryngeal nerve.

3 FIGURE 2 Treatment plans and dose-volume histograms illustrate differences in doses to the mean PTV when doses are prescribed (Rx) to the 60%, 80%, and 100% isodose lines. PTV, planning target volume. Journal of Thoracic Oncology  , DOI: ( /JTO ) Copyright © 2015 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

4 FIGURE 3 Beam-angle-optimized SABR plans for delivering 50 Gy in four fractions while keeping target coverage and avoiding overdoses to nearby critical structures for tumors in four locations: near the brachial plexus (A); near the major vessels (B); near the bronchial tree, esophagus and spinal cord (C); and near the esophagus and heart (D). Color wash dose distributions are shown with corresponding scales. The gray area inside the high-dose region indicates where the dose was higher than the scale maximum (6238 cGy). BP, brachial plexus; PV, pulmonary vessel; BT, bronchial tree; E, esophagus; SC, spinal cord; A, aorta; H, heart; GTV, gross tumor volume; SABR, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy.
