aThe equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2) was calculated using the linear-quadratic model using an α/β = 10 Gy for tumor [34]. Differences in treatment time were taken into account by a correction of 0.6 Gy per day to compensate for tumor repopulation [35]

An accelerated fractionation schedule will be used, 33 fractions in 5 weeks (33 days)
