  1. Dpresc and Ddeliv is the prescribed dose and the mean dose delivered to the primary tumour corrected for incomplete treatment delivery and recalculated with the collapsed-cone dose algorithm.
  2. *Failure to complete prescribed treatment, (pb) refers to the dose calculation algorithm used for treatment planning.
