Journal ArticleDOI

The linear-quadratic formula and progress in fractionated radiotherapy

TL;DR: Clinical gains have been reported from the use of nonstandard fractionation schedules planned with a radiobiological basis, with Hyperfractionation providing the leading example, as described below.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is α/β for prostate tumors really low?

TL;DR: All the estimates point toward low values of α/β, at least as low as the estimates of Brenner and Hall, and possibly lower than the expected values of about 3 Gy for late complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Image guidance for precise conformal radiotherapy

TL;DR: Helical tomotherapy has been designed from the ground up as an integrated image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy system and allows new verification processes based on megavoltage CT images to be implemented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of local control with prolongation in radiotherapy

TL;DR: It is clear that modest prolongation is associated with a lower chance of local control, and the magnitude of time factors relating local control to overall time is determined.
