  • * Predicted = these values were determined (for the beginning of therapy and 6 wk after therapy) using the pretherapeutic PET/CT/and the PBPK/PD model.

  • RD = relative deviation of predicted and measured tumor volumes 6 wk after therapy; αTU = radiosensitivities estimated using populations fits and Jackknife method for PSA-positive patients; D = absorbed dose; VTU,Tumor = tumor volume; Reduction = predicted reduction for 6 wk after therapy relative to the beginning of therapy; T1 and T2 = tumor 1 and tumor 2.
