Revisiting the formalism of equivalent uniform dose based on the linear-quadratic and universal survival curve models in high-dose stereotactic body radiotherapy

ConclusionA  uniform formalism of EUD should be defined among the SBRT community in order to apply it as a single metric for dose reporting and dose–response modeling in high-dose-gradient SBRT because its value depends on the underlying cell survival model and the model parameters. Further investigations o f the optimal formalism to derive the EUD through clinical correlations are warranted.
