Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the overlaps between gross target volume (GTV) and the celiac artery (CA) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) lymph node regions and to examine the dose incidentally irradiated to the CA and SMA lymph node regions by involved-field radiation therapy (IFRT) for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC).
