Abstract:
Microscopic extension (subclinical lesion) is the key factor for defining clinical target volume in radiotherapy. In this article, the research progresses on microscopic extension or extracapsular extension in esophageal cancer, lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, rectal cancer, breast cancer, non-melanoma skin cancer and metastatic lymph nodes were reviewed. These results provide important basis for the definition of clinical target volume. However, a series of questions remain to be properly resolved.
