higher dose and normal tissues will receive a lower dose. Because 3DCRT does not modulate as precisely to the tumour‚ the patient can be at risk of a large amount of normal tissue receiving a higher dose of radiation. This will result in a lot more toxicities for the patient and conclude that the tumour will receive a lesser dose of radiation. It is our aim to deliver as high a dose as possible to the tumour and as small a dose as possible to normal tissue and organs. A disadvantage
