Spatial Metrics of Tumour Vascular Organisation Predict Radiation Efficacy in a Computational Model.

Intratumoural heterogeneity is known to contribute to poor therapeutic response. Variations in oxygen tension in particular have been correlated with changes in radiation response in vitro and at the clinical scale with overall survival. Heterogeneity at the microscopic scale in tumour blood vessel...
