Abstract: Purpose. To analyze the possibility of reducing the number of fractions but maintaining the full biological effect of radiotherapy by varying the dose perfraction. Methods. An arbitrary treatment with a constant dose per fractionis substituted for a fully isoeffective combination of a hyperfractionated and hypofractionated treatment. The number of fractions of the combined treatment is derived. All calculations are based on the linear-quadratic model. Conclusions. Standard uniform fractionation requires the fewest fractions. Any variation in dose per fraction increases the number of fractions of a fully isoeffective treatment.Published in DiRROS: 08.03.2024; Views: 192; Downloads: 54 Full text (66,71 KB)
