A stochastic model for tumor control probability that accounts for repair from sublethal damage

The tumor control probability (TCP) is the probability that a treatment regimen of radiation therapy (RT) eradicates all tumor cells in a given tissue. To decrease the toxic effects on healthy cells, RT is usually delivered over a period of weeks in a series of fractions. This allows tumor cells to...
