J Natl Cancer Inst (5), 3-37, 28 IMRT Dose Prescription: ICRU 83 D 2% is defined as Maximum dose D 5% is Mean/median dose, prescription dose and very close to reference dose (ICRU-5) D 98%, considered as minimum dose in PTV HI = (D 2% -D 98% )/ D 5% Definition of sub volume with overlaps IJDas (6)

JAMA Oncol, 7, 896-6, 215 Conclusions Adoption of target volume nomenclature is extremely poor and variable even after ICRU-5 (1993) for 3DCRT ICRU-83 adoption is poor indicated in large variability in dose prescription/delivery in IMRT and even in academic institutions Head & Neck and pelvis have better uniformity in dose prescription compared to other disease sites Clinical trials should emphasize the need for uniformity in dose prescription for a meaningful treatment outcome Mere ±1% dose difference has shown significant outcome difference IJDas (24)
