Is cardiac sparing whole lung IMRT acceptable for Wilms Tumor?

With the recent publication of multi-institutional trial data, should this now become standard of care?

I think we have enough dosimetry and clinical data to use cardiac sparing imrt off trial. We will be testing this modality further in future Wilms tumor clinical trials in COG. I routinely use this technique and know many others who do so too.
