Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed random variable (RV) approach to calculate Tumor Control Probability (TCP) of inhomogeneous radiation dose distribution, using computer simulation to count surviving cells after radiotherapy using random variables.
Considering the variance of surviving probability, TCP is worse with increasing the variance of surviving probability. The effect is less when the surviving probability is changed in each irradiation. We also confirmed that RV approach is able to calculate TCP adequately if dose distribution of tumor is inhomogeneous.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年の放射線治療では強度変調放射線治療や定位放射線治療が普及している。従来の放射線治療では腫瘍内部の線量の違いは大きくなく、ほぼ均一に照射されていた。近年普及した強度変調放射線治療や定位放射線治療では腫瘍内部の線量は従来の放射線治療と比較して差が大きく、従来の放射線治療の効果予測法とは異なる効果予測法の開発が望まれていた。
本研究では放射線治療中の細胞生存率を変化させたり、線量分布が不均一であったりといった状況でも放射線治療後の腫瘍制御率を計算する手法を開発した。
