Results of radiotherapy in craniopharyngiomas analysed by the linear quadratic model

Abstract

In 23 craniopharyngioma patients treated by limited surgery and external radiotherapy, the results concerning local control were analysed by linear quadratic formula. A biologically effective dose (BED) of 55 Gy, calculated with time factor and an αbeta; value of 10 Gy, seemed to be adequate for local control. ©1994 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
