Currently, a 5.0 mm standard planning target volume (PTV) margin is widely used to ensure adequate dose to the tumor. Considering recent advancements in tumor localization and motion management, there is merit to reassessing the necessary PTV margins for modern techniques.

All patients were treated using pneumatic abdominal compression and intrafraction 4D cone beam computed tomography (4D CBCT)-guided repositioning halfway through treatment.
