LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) "Patterns of spread of lung cancer. 2) Contouring of organs-at-risk e.g. esophagus, brachial plexus, heart, airway; etc. 3) Contouring of gross tumor volume (GTV), clinical target volume (CTV), and planning target volume (PTV) for stereotactic body radiotherapy for medically inoperable non-small cell lung cancer. 4) Contouring of gross tumor volume (GTV), clinical target volume (CTV), and planning target volume (PTV) for conventional external beam radiotherapy for non-metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Review thoracic anatomy that impacts treatment decision making: 1) Proximity to great vessels/heart. 2) Involvement of airway/esophagus. 3) Involvement of diaphragm, phrenic nerve. 4) Involvement of vertebral column. 5) Medistinal and hilar nodes"
