Description

Several clinical risk factors for radiation induced toxicity have been identified in the literature. Here, we present a method to quantify the effect of clinical risk factors on radiation dose–response curves and apply the method to adjust the dose–response for radiation pneumonitis for patients with/without pre-existing pulmonary co-morbidities.
