Abstract
Although the delivery of chemoradiotherapy using conventional two-dimensional simulator planning is a feasible technique, significant under-appreciation of dose inhomogeneity exists. Conformal computed tomography planning is vital to document doses received by organs at risk, especially the spinal cord and kidneys, which may receive high doses, and prospectively correlate these with acute and long-term toxicity in order to redefine organ at risk tolerances in the setting of chemoradiation.
