Radiation treatment planning with embedded dose escalation [PDF]

Radiation Oncology, 2019
Background Heterogeneous target doses are a common by-product from attempts to improve normal tissue sparing in radiosurgery treatment planning. These regions of escalated dose within the target may increase tumor control probability (TCP).
