Advantages and disadvantages of
SIB boost
Advantages:
Limits overall treatment time of nodal target
(hypo-fractionation of small volumes)
Limits irradiation of normal tissue as compared to
AP-PA post boost
Is robust to inter-fraction motion
Disadvantages:
In case of large lymph nodes, the boost volume
becomes higher – can be modified through
replanning after e.g. 20-25Gy
