The Gucken model was taken as a benchmark in all data. FS = fraction scheme. = the maximum dose was 120% of the prescribed dose. = the maximum dose was 110% of the prescribed dose.  Gy = 30 Gy in 1 fraction and other fraction schemes had similar definition. NA = not available; the Tai model for predicting 3-year LC; statistically significant with value < 0.05 compared with the Gucken model.
