    Figure 1.

    Actuarial overall survival (Kaplan–Meier curves) for patients without distant metastases treated to high radiation doses such as 15 fractions of 2.8 Gy. Median survival was 12 months in 29 patients with a heart dose below the median (26 Gy) and 15 months in 29 patients with a heart dose above the median (p>0.1).
