متن کاملThe Role of radiobiological parameters on Tumor control probability (TCP) in prostate cancer
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluation radiobiological modeling parameters on tumor control probability (TCP) for prostate cancer in three different models. These parameters included α⁄β ratios and cell surviving fraction at 2 Gy (SF2). Materials and Methods: The Poisson, equivalent uniform dose (EUD) and linear quadratic (LQ) models was used as...
متن کاملA Stochastic Model for the Normal Tissue Complication Probability (NTCP) in Radiation Treatment of Cancer
The normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) is a measure for the estimated side effects of a given radiation treatment schedule. Here we use a stochastic logistic birth death process to define an organ specific and patient specific NTCP. We emphasise an asymptotic simplification which relates the NTCP to the solution of a logistic differential equation. This framework allows for a direct ...
متن کاملRadiobiological Impact of Planning Techniques for Prostate Cancer in Terms of Tumor Control Probability and Normal Tissue Complication Probability
BACKGROUND The radiobiological models describe the effects of the radiation treatment on cancer and healthy cells, and the radiobiological effects are generally characterized by the tumor control probability (TCP) and normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). AIM The purpose of this study was to assess the radiobiological impact of RapidArc planning techniques for prostate cancer in term...
متن کاملComparing of different normal tissue complication probability models for plan evaluation of radical radiotherapy for esophageal cancer
Introduction: Chemoradiation is a well-established protocol for management of localized esophageal cancer. However, some early and late toxicities are associated with this therapy. Plan evaluation in term of normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) may help clinicians to tailor this therapy more individually. Given the variety of present radiobiological models, the choice...
