Patients and Methods: Three treatment plans of 3D-CRT, IMRT, and VMAT with 30 Gy were created based on 4D-CT images of seven patients. We calculated D95, homogeneity index (HI), and conformity index (CI) of planning target volume, and organs at risk doses. Results: There was no significant difference among the three plans in D95. HI of the IMRT plan was significantly better than that of the VMAT (p=0.047) and 3D-CRT (p=0.047) plans. CIs of the IMRT and VMAT plans were significantly better than those of the 3D-CRT plan (p=0.047 and p=0.047, respectively). Dmean of the liver for 3D-CRT was significantly higher than that for the IMRT (p=0.047) and VMAT (p=0.047) plans. Conclusion: The IMRT plan yields the best plan quality for gastric MALT lymphoma. ER -
