Description
This study was undertaken to investigate optimum treatment schedules for highly proliferative tumours. The linear quadratic model is used to predict the most effective fractionation regimes. It should be pointed out that greater early effects are associated with improved tumour control, as such these data should be treated as a useful guideline and should never be used out of context with clinical experience. The linear quadratic model with proliferation has been used to investigate the effect on cell survival and associated tumour control probability (TCP)
