Q

How do you develop CTV for tumors of antrum of stomach postoperatively?

A

CTV: Tumor bed based on Preop tumor+2 cm, anastomoses, 1st portion of the duodenal loop, gastric remnant and regional nodal regions

Regional nodes add: Porta hepatis, periduondenal, suprapancreatic, splenic, pancreaticoduodenal

Boost gross residual: CTV = GTV + 2 cm margin
