  1. OAR organs at risk; PTV planning target volume; V20Gy percentage of OAR volume receiving 20 Gy or more
  2. *Indices and doses are calculated based on the planning organ at risk for each organ, except for the lungs and skin
  3. †Dose constraints for stomach and intestines are determined based on SUNSET trial [15]
