Purpose: The dose of radiation that locally controls human tumors treated electively or for
gross disease isy well defined. These doses can be useful in understanding the dose
requirements of novel therapies featuring inhomogeneous dosimetry and in an adjuvant
setting. The goal of this study was to compute the dose of radiation that locally controls
50%(TCDSO) of tumors in human subjects. Methods and Materials: Logit regression was
used with data collected from single institutions or from combinations of local control data …
