However, essential questions relating to the optimisation of thoracic radiotherapy remain unanswered, including volume of irradiation, optimal total dose, fractionation, timing and sequencing of radiation.

Geographic differences in the use of external beam dose fractionation and of concurrent chemotherapy were seen.

A significant range of dose fractionation schedules existed for external beam (n = 35) and endobronchial brachytherapy treatment (n = 10).
