Simulations with mean value parameter sets for the high proliferative tumour profile. Comparison of clinical and simulated Volume Reduction Percentages (VRP), for the tumour profile GF = 60%, HF = 30%, DF = 5%. The simulated VRP at each time-point is compared to the corresponding clinical VRP. The error bars indicate the permitted variability around the clinical VRP value according to the criteria VRP 10 (equation 11) and 40% DV (equation (13)). This variability is introduced to reflect possible tumour delineation errors. VRP values are computed according to equation (9). Note: For each timepoint (midterm, BT0, BT1, BT2) the VRPs for each CKR value are horizontally displaced to facilitate the inspection of the results; this displacement does not have temporal meaning.
