The HYP-RT Hypoxic Tumour Radiotherapy Algorithm and Accelerated Repopulation Dose per Fraction Study
Figure 8
Oxygenation (pO2) histograms after each fraction of simulated conventional radiotherapy, ranging from fractions 1 to 8 of a moderately hypoxic tumour. In this example, treatment is initiated when the tumour population has reached 108 cells and hypoxic quiescent cells are reoxygenated above 1 mmHg by fraction number 11 ( cells) and above 5 mmHg by fraction 20 ( cells).
