  1. Dx% = dose received by the x% of the volume; Vx% = volume receiving at least x% of the prescribed dose; CI = ratio between the patient volume receiving at least 95% of the prescribed dose and the volume of the total PTV. DoseInt = Integral dose, [Gy cm3 105]
  2. Data are relative to the primary course of 44/45 Gy only.
