EQD₂ = nd* α Assume a/B (d+(a/B)) (2+(a/B)) BED:= (nd)*(1+ α =2 for late effects and a/B 10 for acute effects 1. Using the Equivalent Dose in 2 Gy Fractions equation, compare the following protocols. Which would have better tumor control? Which would have worse late effects? 42 Gy delivered in 12 fractions; 30 Gy delivered in 5 fractions.
