• Based on broader treatment planning experience DVH constraints could be adapted for patients with and without nodes
• Current table is provided based on data from 52 patients and 3 centers
• Aim is that values for soft constraints should be reached in 70-80%, allowing for outliers in case of exceptional anatomy or other planning problems
• DVH parameters are tight but feasible for different treatment planning systems
