Indirect cell death and the LQ model in SBRT and SRS

High-dose hypofractionated SBRT and SRS indirectly kills substantial fractions of tumor cells via causing vascular damage. The LQ formula may work well for certain clinical cases of SBRT and SRS when the indirect/additional tumor cell death secondary to vascular damage is small. However, when the in...

Zusammenfassung:High-dose hypofractionated SBRT and SRS indirectly kills substantial fractions of tumor cells via causing vascular damage. The LQ formula may work well for certain clinical cases of SBRT and SRS when the indirect/additional tumor cell death secondary to vascular damage is small. However, when the indirect cell death is extensive, the LQ model will underestimate the clinical outcome of SBRT and SRS.
