3. The impact of hypoxia on tumour control probability in the high-dose range used in stereotactic body radiation therapy
University essay from Stockholms universitet/FysikumAbstract : The use of stereotactic body radiation therapy employing few large fractions of radiation dose for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer has been proven very successful, high values of tumour control probability (TCP) being clinically achieved. In spite of the success of the fractionation schedules currently used, there is a tendency towards reducing the number of fractions for economical and practical reasons, and also for maximizing the comfort of the patients.
