Abstract EN

An overview of radiotherapy (RT) induced normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models is presented.

NTCP models based on empirical and mechanistic approaches that describe a specific radiation induced late effect proposed over time for conventional RT are reviewed with particular emphasis on their basic assumptions and related mathematical translation and their weak and strong points.
