Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
As secondary outcomes the target volume coverage and conformity of CT based planning shall be compared with conventional simulator based planning. These secondary outcomes shall be reported within 6 months of accrual of the last patients. As a tertiary endpoint, the event ?free survival, overall survival &amp; the decline in neuro-congnitive outcome at 2 years shall compared to historical controls and reported accordingly after a minimal follow up of 2 years.Timepoint: ;As secondary outcomes the target volume coverage and conformity of CT based planning shall be compared with conventional simulator based planning.
