Margin for rectum (PRV) ?

• Planned rectum differs from treated rectum

• In 50% of the cases organ motion moves rectum

closer during treatment

Higher dose

• In 50% of the cases organ motion moves rectum

away during treatment

Lower dose

On average the planning system predicts the rectum

dose correctly

• Therefore no PRV margin is needed
