Abstract:
The purpose of this work was to develop simple formulas that can be used to estimate the biologic effect of missed radiotherapy fractions independently of radiobiological parameters. This is achieved by expressing the limits in biologically effective dose for very low or very high radiobiological parameter ratios. Worked examples are given.
