1. Include in treatment plan optimization
2. Compare treatment techniques, e.g. 3DCRT vs. IMRT vs.
protons
3. Compare beam energies, 6 MV or 18 MV
4. Compare linac types: Varian vs. Elekta
5. Assess impact of kV/MV image guidance procedures
on tumor induction
6. Information for patients: quantification of risk
Problems:
Data are incomplete and conflicting, models are simple

Prediction of tumor induction risk
Why prediction of tumor induction risk?
