Currently, studies about PORT in stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC patients in recent years have mostly adopted the conformal radiation therapy (CRT) technique, while other modern techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT, hereinafter referred to as ARC), helical tomotherapy (HT), and so forth are also developing quickly. In this paper, we intended to compare the dosimetric characteristics of CRT, IMRT, ARC, CRT+IMRT, and CRT+ARC of PORT in stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC patients. Ten patients with stage IIIA-N2 completely resected NSCLC, whom were treated by PORT in the radiotherapy department of our hospital from January 1, 2017, to January 1, 2018, were randomly selected in this study. For each patient, the CRT plan, IMRT plan, ARC plan, CRT+IMRT plan, and CRT+ARC plan were designed separately on the same set of CT images. The isodose distribution and dose-volume histogram (DVH) of the five plans were compared to determine the dosimetric parameters of the targets, OAR (organs at risk), and the normal tissue (defined as body subtracted to PTV (planning target volume), B-P). No plan had absolute dosimetry advantages than any other plans. In clinical practice, the plans could be chosen according to their dosimetry characteristics.
