Consensus guideline
International Guideline on Dose Prioritization and Acceptance Criteria in Radiation Therapy Planning for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Lee AW, Ng WT, Pan JJ, et al.
DoseLab summary
An international expert guideline that ranks targets and organs at risk for nasopharyngeal carcinoma planning and gives ideal and acceptable dose criteria, including D0.03 cc near-maximum doses. A correction was published later in 2019. Citation checked against Crossref; content not yet reviewed by DoseLab.
Why this is useful
International consensus on which organs take priority over target coverage in nasopharynx IMRT, with ideal and acceptable dose goals — the source of the lens, pituitary and NPC temporal lobe values in DoseLab's head and neck table.
