dc.description.abstractWhilst the benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy in gastric cancer is known, the optimal means of delivery, including two dimensional conventional, three dimensional conformal radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy is less certain. The purpose of this study is to assess and compare volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) plans in adjuvant radiation of gastric cancer.en_ZA
