Table 4 Volume of structures/organs receiving greater than the threshold dose

Structure/organs	Dose (Gy)	Volume above threshold dose (%)		P value¹
Structure/organs		CRT	IMRT
PTV	95% of prescribed dose	84.0 ± 6.7	82.9 ± 6.1	NS
Organs at risk
Right kidney	20.0	12.5 ± 11.7	5.4 ± 2.7	0.031
Left kidney	20.0	5.3 ± 6.0	3.7 ± 2.3	NS
Liver	30.0	34.5 ± 8.0	30.1 ± 6.3	0.0065

¹Two-tailed paired t test. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. CRT: Three dimensional conformal radiation therapy; IMRT: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy; PTV: Planning tumor volume; NS: Not significant (P > 0.05).
