The Impact of Different Timing Schedules on Prostate HDR-Mono-Brachytherapy. A TCP Modeling Investigation

Background: Mechanistic TCP (tumor control probability) models exist that account for possible re-sensitization of an initially hypoxic tumor during treatment. This phenomenon potentially explains the better outcome of a 28-day vs 14-day treatment schedule of HDR (high dose rate) brachytherapy of lo...
