Use of Normal Tissue Complication Probability Models in the Clinic
Open accessAbstract
The Quantitative Analysis of Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic (QUANTEC) review summarizes the currently available three-dimensional dose/volume/outcome data to update and refine the normal tissue dose/volume tolerance guidelines provided by the classic Emami et al. paper published in 1991. A "clinician's view" on using the QUANTEC information in a responsible manner is presented along with a description of the most commonly used normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models. A summary of organ-specific dose/volume/outcome data, based on the QUANTEC reviews, is included.

In the citing paper
“A seminal paper by Emami et al. ( 6 ) summarized normal-tissue tolerances to external photon irradiation as they were known in 1991, and these data have been gradually updated and expanded through other initiatives such as Quantitative Analysis of Normal Tissue Effects in the Clinic (QUANTEC) and Hypofractionated Treatment Effects in the Clinic (HyTEC) ( 25 , 26 ).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
