N2 - It is increasingly being recognized that treatment targets and the intervening and surrounding normal tissues are subject to substantial inter-and intrafractionalvariations in shape, volume, and position. The causes of such variations include respiratory motion, non-rigidity of the body, weight loss, and radiation-induced changes such as tumor shrinkage. These variations can significantly affect the outcome of treatment.
