Factors influencing toxicity
At the initiation of the study, patients
were stratified as either low volume
(CTV <250 cm3) or high volume (
CTV
>250 cm3
).
The high-volume patients in the full
thoracic cohort
of
the proton
reirradiation
protocol
were
subsequently
deemed infeasible
because of inability to complete the
prescribed treatment course owing
to toxicity
.
