Do refined consensus guidelines improve the uniformity of clinical target volume delineation for rectal cancer? Results of a national review project

Ines Joye et al. Radiother Oncol. 2016 Aug.

Abstract

In a previous national central review project, 74% of the rectal cancer clinical target volumes (CTVs) needed a modification. In a follow-up initiative, we evaluated whether the use of refined international consensus guidelines improves the uniformity of CTV delineation in clinical practice.

Keywords: Central review; Radiotherapy; Rectal cancer; Refined guidelines; Target delineation.
