Acute normal tissue tolerance to 7 day per week accelerated fractionation

Journal Article · · Int. J. Radiat. Oncol., Biol. Phys.; (United States)
Fifty-six sites in 49 patients were irradiated by a 7 day-week accelerated fractionation schedule to conventional tumor doses. Daily doses were 180 to 200 rad in 85% of sites. Patients were analyzed for normal tissue tolerance. A 7 day/week accelerated fractionation appears clinically tolerable at 180 rad per fraction.
