Radiotherapy has a lot of abbreviations and today I’ve had to relearn some of the most annoying of them all:
TCP= Tumour Control Probability
NTCP= Normal Tissue Complication Probability
For a good radiotherapy treatment we want TCP>= 0.5 and NTCP <=0.05
A/N: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ABBREVIATIONS WHICH ARE ALWAYS USED TOGETHER AND HAVE THE SAME LETTERS BUT ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MEANINGS IN RADIOTHERAPY, IT’S LIKE THEY WANT TO CONFUSE EVERYONE.
