(Radio)Biological Optimization of External-Beam Radiotherapy
Figure 3
(a) The spectrum of resulting from “isotoxic” % (grade 2 radiation pneumonitis) or TCP = 99% or Gy (whichever is the lowest) for the 24 patients of Figure 2. (b) TCP values for the constant 55 Gy prescription dose (blue) and the individualized shown in Figure 3(a). The increase in the mean TCP over the patient sample is obtained for no change in mean NTCP (adapted from Malik et al. (2007) with the TCP values recalculated using the parameters in [37]).
