Figure 2. (a) Total number of proliferating and dormant tumour cells as a function of time for the hyperfractionated (1.2 Gy twice daily, 5 days per week to the dose of 72 Gy, "HF-72") and accelerated hyperfractionated (1.6 Gy twice daily, 5 days per week to the dose of 48 Gy, "AHF-48") radiotherapy schedules. HF-72 is completed on day 40 after initiation of treatment whereas AHF-48 is completed on day 19. (b) Total number of proliferating and dormant tumour cells as a function of time for the hyperfractionated (1.2 Gy twice daily, 5 days per week to the dose of 64.8 Gy, "HF-64.8") and accelerated hyperfractionated (1.6 Gy twice daily, 5 days per week to the dose of 48 Gy, "AHF-48") radiotherapy schedules. HF-64.8 is completed on day 37 after initiation of treatment whereas AHF-48 is completed on day 19. Both irradiation schedules start on the first day of the first week of treatment.
