ISTER (Immune System - Tumor Efficiency Rate): An Important Key for Planning in Radiotherapic Facilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of the oncologic index ISTER allows for a more effective planning of the radiotherapic facilities in the hospitals. Any change in the radiotherapy treatment, due to unexpected stops, may be adapted by recalculating the doses to the new treatment duration while keeping the optimal prognosis. The results obtained in a simulation model on millions of patients allow the definition of optimal success probability algorithms. Keywords—mathematical model; radiation oncology; dynamical systems applications

Immune system-tumour efficiency ratio as a new oncological index for radiotherapy treatment optimization.
A dynamical system model for tumour-immune system interaction together with a method to mimic radiation therapy are proposed. A large population of virtual patients is simulated following an ideal radiation treatment. A characteristic parameter, the immune system-tumor efficiency ratio (ISTER) is introduced. ISTER dependence of treatment success and other features are studied. Radiotherapy trea...
