    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Predicting radiation response in patients is key for personalized radiotherapy. Biological dose is most promising for normal tissue injury, while real-time assays are not yet accurate enough for clinical use.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiation oncology
    • Radiobiology
    • Medical physics

    Background:

    • Predicting individual patient response to radiotherapy is crucial for optimizing treatment.
    • Four types of predictors exist: physical dose, biological dose, risk factors, and real-time assays.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the utility of different predictors for radiotherapy response.
    • To identify the most effective predictors for normal tissue injury and tumor response.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on radiation response predictors.
    • Analysis of the role of physical dose, biological dose, risk factors, and real-time assays.

    Main Results:

    • Biological dose, incorporating physical dose and radiobiology, is the most useful predictor for late normal tissue injury.

  • Risk factors are also important for predicting normal tissue response.
  • Current real-time assays lack the necessary accuracy and precision for predicting ultimate response, especially for normal tissues.

    • Conclusions:

    • Biological dosimetry offers the most promising approach for predicting late normal tissue responses.
    • Further research is needed to accurately determine human tissue tolerance doses, quantify the volume effect, and establish isoeffect relationships for low doses per fraction.
