RT in PCNSL: Field design

CTV

:

Whole brain including C1 and C2 and the posterior aspect of the eyes.

The iso-center is set anteriorly and bisects the bony canthi (to reduce divergence

in possible future match to ocular field).

Alternatively, anterior border of PTV is set with the isocenter 5 mm behind

the lens.

If the eyes were originally involved, both eyes should be included in their

entirety in WBRT field.

The role of tumour site boost is uncertain and is not recommended by most
