Abstract:
BACKGROUND: There are different contouring guidelines for the clinical target volume (CTV) in anal cancer (AC) which vary concerning recommendations for radiation margins in different anatomical regions, especially on inguinal site.

Using PET imaging, we evaluated patterns of LN spread, and examined the differences of the respective contouring guidelines on the basis of...     »
