PTV delineation
The combination of 2 problems:
- unpredictable organ motion
- substantial tumor regression
resulted in conservative margin recommendations by the Consortium.
PTV margins of 1.5 to 2 cm around the CTV were recommended if good quality daily
soft tissue verification was available during treatment.
A PTV margin of 7 mm around the nodal CTV was agreed upon in line with previous
recommendations in the postoperative cervix cancer setting (e.g., RTOG 0418).
