In conformal brachytherapy where dose is limited to residual tumour,the incident dose at point A is variable.
In patients treated with LDR the dose (80 Gy) was prescribed to Point A.This meant that patients who responded well to EBRT had small residual withdiameter of <4cm. All such tumours would have received much higher than the prescribed 80 Gy and hence had unintended dose escalation!

A randomised, two-by-two factorial phase 3 study.Stage IIIA or IIIB non-small-cell lung cancer(RTOG 0617): (Bradley et al. 2015).
Standard-dose versus high-dose conformal radiotherapy high-dose (74 Gy in 37 fractions) or standard dose (60 Gy in 30 fractions) radiotherapy concurrently with weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin
with or without cetuximab, followed by consolidation chemotherapy in all groups.

Interpretation of results were: 74 Gy with concurrent chemotherapynot better than 60 Gy plus concurrent chemotherapy
Addition of cetuximab to concurrent chemoradiation and consolidation treatment provided no benefit in OS
Median overall survival was 28·7 months for 60 GyAnd 20·3 months (17·7–25·0) for 74 Gy

The authors of RTOG 0617 still believe the way forward is still the radiation dose intensification!
RTOG 1106 is using a mid-treatment PET adapted hypofractionated radiation therapy boost to intensify radiation dose to residual tumour volumes during a total duration of 30 fractions (NCT01507428).
RTOG 1308 is exploiting the protons compared with photons to escalate radiation dose to 70 Gy (NCT01993810).
Both of these trial designs were built on the knowledge gained from RTOG 0617.
