Normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) parameters for breast fibrosis: pooled results from two randomised trials.
INTRODUCTION The dose-volume effect of radiation therapy on breast tissue is poorly understood. We estimate NTCP parameters for breast fibrosis after external beam radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We pooled individual patient data of 5856 patients from 2 trials including whole breast irradiation followed with or without a boost. A two-compartment dose volume histogram model was used with b...
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...
متن کاملUse of normal tissue complication probability models in the clinic.
The Quantitative Analysis of Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic (QUANTEC) review summarizes the currently available three-dimensional dose/volume/outcome data to update and refine the normal tissue dose/volume tolerance guidelines provided by the classic Emami et al. paper published in 1991. A "clinician's view" on using the QUANTEC information in a responsible manner is presented along with a...
متن کاملVariation in Clinical Target Volumes for Post-prostatectomy Patients and Effect on Normal Tissue Complication Probability
Background: Modern radiotherapy requires accurate contouring which may suffer in the postsurgical setting. We estimated post-prostatectomy interand intra-rater contouring reliability and assessed the effect on bladder and rectal normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). Methods: Four physicians each contoured two different treatment plans, separated by at least seven days, on 15 patients r...
متن کاملA stochastic model for the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) and applicationss.
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 emphasize an asymptotic simplification which relates the NTCP to the solution of a logistic differential equation. This framework is based on simple m...
