Table 1.

Parameters used for the model simulation for early stage lung cancer. The numbers in the bracket after the values are the references. All parameters except for the radiosensitivity parameters are the same as those used in Jeong et al. [22].

 Tumor volume (Vt) 30 cc
 Stem cell fraction (fs) 0.01 [27]
 Cell cycle time (Tc) 2 days [28]
Compartment parameters
 Growth fraction (GF) 0.25 [29]
 Tumor doubling time (TD) 100 days [30]
 Cell loss half-time in H (T1/2,loss) 2 days [31]
 Survival rate of progeny after mitosis (km) 0.2 [22]
 Lysis half-time (T1/2,lysis) 3 days [22]
Cell cycle parameters

 G2/M-phase in P (fPG2/M) 10% [32]
 Fraction of cell in I-compartment (fI) 27%a
 Fraction of cell in H-compartment (fH) 23%a
Radiosensitivity parameters Photon RT CIRT

 Ratio of alpha of G1- to S-phase (αG1/αS) 2b 1c
 Ratio of alpha of G2/M- to S-phase (αG2/M/αS) 3b 1c
 Reference radiosensitivity at 2 Gy/fx (α) 0.305 Gy−1 [22] 1.12d Gy−1
 Alpha-beta ratio (α/β) 2.8 Gy [22] 23.9d Gy
 OER of I-compartment at 2 Gy/fx (OERI) 1.7 [22] 1.08d
 OER of H-compartment at 2 Gy/fx (OERH) 1.37 [33] 1.01d
a

Estimated from GF and TD in the model.

b

Assumed parameters based on radiosensitivity analysis of synchronized cell population[34,35].

c

The cell cycle effect is ignored for CIRT as the cell-cycle radiosensitivity variations are negligible for the high LET heavy ion[10,11].

d

The best-fit parameter values found from the model parameter fitting.
