The impact of contour variation on tumour control probability in anal cancer

The impact of contour variation on tumour control probability in anal cancer

Abstract Background While intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has been widely adopted for the treatment of anal cancer (AC), the added contour complexity poses potential risks. This study investigates the impact of contour variation on tumour control probability (TCP) when using IMRT for AC. Met...
