Outline of Final Research Achievements

The aim of this study was to develop the circumstances of simulation of the methods of treatment planning which was considered with time-dependent(4D) radiobiological response of tumor cells in radiotherapy. Applying for this model into the treatment planning system, we have developed the analysis of the radiobiological effect of the cancer treatment in radiotherapy, such as the delay effect in 4D-RT, the effect of dose inhomogeneities in IMRT and the effect of variation of radiation sensitivity and inhomogeneities of cells. As a results of premitive simulation, we have found that those dosimetric inhomogeneities and tumor inhomogeneities and variations of radiation sensitivity were involved in the treatment field margins and predictions of cell survivals. In this study, it was expected that we could develop these biological uncertainties for clinical radiation treatment planning with this biological model.
