Modeling Radiotherapy Induced Normal Tissue Complications: An Overview beyond Phenomenological Models

An overview of radiotherapy (RT) induced normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models is presented. NTCP models based on empirical and mechanistic approaches that describe a specific radiation induced late effect proposed over time for conventional RT are reviewed with particular emphasis on...
