Normal Tissue Complication Probability Model for Radiation-induced Temporal Lobe Injury after Intensity-modulated Radiation Therapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Abstract

D1cc is predictive for radiation-induced TLI, suggesting that delivery of a high dose of radiation to a small volume of the temporal lobe is unsafe. A D1cc of 62.83 Gy by using a correction formula for varying fraction size may be the dose tolerance of the temporal lobe.
