Abstract:
Radiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for cancer. The aim of radiotherapy is to achieve a high probability of local tumor control (tumor control probability, TCP) at a low risk of normal tissue complications (normal tissue complication probability, NTCP). This paper gives a brief introduction into dose response relationships for early and late radiation responses and tumor control. The impact of basic parameters of the fractionation schedules on these responses is described. Easy examples illustrate how Poisson statistics can be used to understand dose-response relationships in radiotherapy.

A circuit, on the other hand, is also an interconnected system of electrical elements but must contain one or more closed paths.
Introduction to Membrane Traffic
The transport of soluble and membrane proteins is mediated by transport vesicles that collect cargo from one cellular compartment and deliver it to another by fusing with the target organelle membrane. The Rab...
Introduction to Cellular Respiration
ATP stores energy in chemical bonds that can be quickly released when needed. Cells produce energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration. Although much of the energy from cellular respiration is released as heat, some of it is used to make ATP.
During cellular respiration, several...
