A tumor control probability model for anal squamous cell carcinoma.

A recent update of the RTOG 9811, reported differing relapse rates for early and late anal squamous cell carcinoma following chemoradiotherapy (CRT). There may be a role for dose-individualization, however the dose-response relationship for anal cancer is not currently known. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has been widely adopted with multiple series published. The aim is to fit a tumor control probability (TCP) model to the published IMRT data.
