Table 2 Radiation therapy efficacy coupling approaches

From: Forecasting tumor and vasculature response dynamics to radiation therapy via image based mathematical modeling

 

Coupling approach

Formula

C1

Logistic

\( {C}_I={C}_{LT}=1-{\phi}_T\left(\overline{x},t\right)/{\theta}_T\left(\overline{x},t\right) \)

C2

Linear quadratic (LQ)

CI = 1 − exp(−α ⋅ Dose − β ⋅ Dose2), CLT = 1 − CI

C3

Vascular

\( {C}_I=\exp \left(-\left({\theta}_V-{\phi}_V\left(\overline{x},t\right)\right).{\alpha}_3\right),{C}_{LT}=1-{C}_I \)

C4

Oxygen enhanced

\( {\displaystyle \begin{array}{l} OER={\phi}_V\left(\overline{x},t\right)/\overline{\phi_{V, pre- treatment}}\\ {}{C}_I=1-\exp \left( OER\cdot \left(-\alpha \cdot Dos e-\beta \cdot Dos{e}^2\right)\right),{C}_{LT}=1-{C}_I\end{array}} \)

C5

None

CI = 1, CLT = 1
