- 1. Dept. of Radiation Oncology, Hacettepe Univ., Ankara (Turkey)
Description
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 α/β value of 10 Gy, seemed to be adequate for local control. (orig.)
