Uncomplicated and Cancer-Free Control Probability (UCFCP): A new integral approach to treatment plan optimization in photon radiation therapy

The level of SCP was found to be similar to that of NTCP complications which reinforces the importance of considering second cancer risks as part of the possible late sequelae due to treatment. Previous concerns about the effect of peripheral radiation, especially neutrons, in the induction of secondary cancers can be evaluated by quantifying the UCFCP.
