Probability of tumour control and dosimetric data for the target volumes. Average values of the probability of tumour control in each target volume, PB, the minimum significant dose, Dmin, the mean dose, Dmean, the maximum significant dose, Dmax, and the dose distribution standard deviation, SD. For illustration purposes this standard deviation was multiplied by 10. The error bars refer to the standard deviation of all planned cases. The colour bars indicate the dose values converted to a fractionation scheme of 2 Gy per fraction. The grey bars show the physical dose for the prescribed fractionation. The difference between the physical dose and converted dose to 2 Gy is more evident in the PTV1 due to repopulation effects.
