Abstract Background Reporting further developments evolved since the first report about this conformal technique. Methods Technical progress focused on optimization of the quality assurance QA program especially regarding the required work input and on optimization of beam arrangements. Results Besides performing the regular QA program additional time consuming dosimetric measurements and verifications no longer have to be accomplished. Class solutions of treatment plans for six patients with non-resected non-small cell lung cancer in locally advanced stages are presented. Target configurations comprise one central and five peripheral tumor sites with different topographic positions to hilus and mediastinum. The mean dose to the primary tumor is 8l 9 Gy range 79 2-90 0 Gy to macroscopically involved
