Limitations of the EQD2 model for BT

➢

Chemotherapy is not taken into account

➢

Uncertainty increases for single fraction dose values >10Gy

➢

Only cell repair is considered

➢

/

values and T

1/2

are under discussion

(E.g. tumour type prostate, OAR etc.)

➢

Overall uncertainty of the biological dose calculation (values) in the

range of ~10% -> Reasonable rounding of values
