Quantification of thermal dose in moderate clinical hyperthermia with radiotherapy: a relook using temperature–time area under the curve (AUC)
Background Thermal dose in clinical hyperthermia reported as cumulative equivalent minutes (CEM) at 43 °C (CEM43) and its variants are based on direct thermal cytotoxicity assuming Arrhenius ‘break’ at 43 °C. An alternative method centered on the actual time–temperature plot during each hyperthermia...
