  1. cc, centimeter cubed (cm3); PTV Eval, planning treatment volume for evaluation; N.S., not significant
  2. *Significantly different from planned (two-tailed Wilcoxon)
  3. aMedian value meets objective (one-tailed Wilcoxon)
  4. bMedian significantly lower/higher than objective (one-tailed Wilcoxon)
  5. cBODY V105% does not have an objective, but ASTRO recommends < 200 cm3 to breast
