Abstract
• A TCP curve is created by plotting some measure of tumor control probability against the total dose. • This may be done with clinical or experimental data, or with theoretical models. • Even when plotting clinical data, a theoretical model must be used to model the response of tumor cells to radiation therapy. ° See Chapt. 21 for details of single-target and linear-quadratic models. • A TCP curve is characterized by a sigmoid shape, in which there is little dose-response at very low or very high doses, and a steep dose-response at intermediate doses.
