Radiotherapy

The maximum radiation dose or intensity of fractionated radiotherapy that is associated with an acceptable low complication probability (usually 1–5%). Actual values depend on treatment protocol, irradiated volume, concomitant therapies, etc., but also on the status of the organ/patient.
