An Estimation of Radiobiological Parameters for Head-and-Neck Cancer Cells and the Clinical Implications

<em>In vitro</em> survival measurements using two human head-and-neck cancer (HNC) cell lines were performed. The specially designed split-dose surviving fraction was obtained and fitted to the linear-quadratic formalism. The repair halftime (Tr), the potential doubling t...
