(Radio)Biological Optimization of External-Beam Radiotherapy
Figure 6
The variation of TCP with number of fractions, where the total dose (the numbers in the little squares) is adjusted to keep maintaining isotoxicity, in this case 10% NTCP for the endpoint of grade 2 radiation pneumonitis (for LKB parameters see Figure 2). The plot was generated by the BioSuite software [53]. In this case the standard prescription of 55 Gy in 20 fractions yielded %, % (BioSuite is available from [email protected]).
