Radiobiological modeling of interplay between accelerated repopulation and altered fractionation schedules in head and neck cancer

Radiobiological modeling of interplay between accelerated repopulation and altered fractionation schedules in head and neck cancer

Head and neck cancer represents a challenge for radiation oncologists due to accelerated repopulation of cancer cells during treatment. This study aims to simulate, using Monte Carlo methods, the response of a virtual head and neck tumor to both conventional and altered fractionation schedules in ra...
