Significance of three-dimensional radiation treatment planning.
A tumour and its environment constitute a three-dimensional (3D) phenomenon. Consequently, adequate management of the target volume (tumour + safety zone) is feasible only with a 30 treatment planning and irradiating system. The more precise planning and dose delivery involved in such a 30 treatment lead to an improved therapeutic effectiveness.
