The utility of non‐axial treatment beam orientations for lower lobe lung cancers

Traditional treatment beams for non‐small–cell lung cancer are limited to the axial plane. For many tumor geometries, non‐axial orientations appear to reduce the dose to normal tissues (e.g. heart, liver). We hypothesize that non‐axial beams provide a significant reduction in incidental irradiation...
