Abstract

Curative radiotherapy of malignant diseases must provide maximal probability of uncomplicated cure. Cure rate and complication rate depend on many parameters. However, the parameters are often defined variously, determined differently, recorded nonuniformly, or reported incompletely, even as reported in clinical trials. The differences in dose values reported for the same treatment (± 10%–20%) are larger than all dosimetrical and technical uncertainties together (± 5%–10%) [1]. Thus, clear, comparable, and correct verbal, numerical, and graphic definition, determination, and description of the prescribed, planned, and performed radiotherapy treatment are crucial [1–4].
