Table 2.

Overview of the model parameters, relevant fit bounds and range of data used for fitting (patient-specific, or all patients as a whole). We allowed for a wide range of growth rates with biologically reasonable limits34. Bounds for ε followed previous work12, and the full range of possible values was used for the surviving fraction S. A 30% volume deviation was considered for the initial tumor volume.

Parameter Unit Meaning Fit bounds Patient-specific
λ day-1 Tumor growth rate in the absence of treatment [0.017, 0.14]
ε day-1 Evolution of resistance rate [0, 0.1]
S Radiation surviving fraction [0, 1]
V0 cm3 Pretreatment tumor volume V0×[0.7,1.3]
