Mean heart dose-based normal tissue complication probability model for pericardial effusion: a study in oesophageal cancer patients

Abstract We investigated the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) of the incidence of pericardial effusion (PCE) based on the mean heart dose (MHD) in patients with oesophageal cancer treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy. The incidences of PCE in any grade (A-PCE) and symptomatic PCE (...
