Data Mining Identifies the Base of the Heart as a Dose-Sensitive Region Affecting Survival in Lung Cancer Patients

Research output: Contribution to conferenceOtherpeer-review

Abstract

Advances in radiotherapy allow an increasing proportion of lung cancer patients to be treated with curative intent. However high dose delivered to critical organs can result in mortality. This work aims to identify anatomical regions where the received dose correlates with survival. No prior assumptions are made regarding the location of these regions; therefore the whole CT volume was included in our data mining analysis.
