Abstract
PTV margin of 15Â mm in SI and AP, and 5Â mm in lateral directions for CTV-primary were found to be adequate. A minimum of 7Â mm PTV margin should be given to iliac CTV. The remarkable shifting in presacral CTV was believed to be due to the unforeseen hip malposition of obese patients. The KHS seems not to provide additional beneficial effect in decreasing the shifts both in CTV-primary and lymphatic, however it may have a beneficial effect of decreasing the OAR volume in PTV margins.
