Example of dose distribution in a patient with stage-IIIB pulmonary adenocarcinoma after 2 induction chemotherapy cycles. The color legend DVH in the column on the right illustrates the dose distribution. Prescription dose was 30 Gy/5 daily fractions with a heterogeneous dose escalation of up to 40 Gy inside the primary tumor to simulate brachytherapy dose distribution. Prescription dose was 25 Gy/5 daily fractions with a heterogeneous dose escalation of up to 37.5 Gy inside the nodal tumor. The different colors show the following isodoses: red, 30 Gy; deep blue, 40 Gy; aqua, 37.5 Gy; green, 25 Gy; purple, 20 Gy; light blue, 15 Gy; pink, 10 Gy; yellow, 5 Gy
