This definition of EUAD has several advantages. First, the EUAD allows one to compare survival of clonogenic cells in tumors with intra-tumor and inter-tumor variation of radio sensitivity due to hypoxia because the cell survival is recomputed under the same benchmark oxygen level (OER = 1). Second, the EUAD for homogeneously oxygenated tumors is equal to the concept of equivalent uniform dose.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results<\/jats:italic>\n                    . We computed the EUAD using radiotherapy dose and the OER derived from the\n                    <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>\n                    F-Fluoromisonidazole PET (\n                    <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>\n                    F-FMISO PET) images of hypoxia in patients with glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive type of primary malignant brain tumor. The\n                    <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>\n                    F-FMISO PET images include a distribution of SUV (Standardized Uptake Value); therefore, the SUV is converted to partial oxygen pressure (pO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) and then to the OER. The prognostic value of EUAD in radiotherapy for hypoxic tumors is demonstrated using correlation between EUAD and overall survival (OS) in radiotherapy for glioblastoma. The correction to the EUAD for the absolute hypoxic volume that traceable to the tumor control probability improves the correlation with OS.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance<\/jats:italic>\n                    . While the analysis proposed in this research is based on the\n                    <jats:sup>18<\/jats:sup>\n                    F-FMISO PET images for glioblastoma, the EUAD is a universal radiobiological concept and is not associated with any specific cancer or any specific PET or MRI biomarker of hypoxia. Therefore, this research can be generalized to other cancers, for example stage III lung cancer, and to other hypoxia biomarkers.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6560\/ad31c8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,8]],"date-time":"2024-03-08T17:24:55Z","timestamp":1709918695000},"page":"085011","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Equivalent uniform aerobic dose in radiotherapy for hypoxic tumors"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Alexei V","family":"Chvetsov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Washington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Muzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Washington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmbad31c8bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"978","DOI":"10.1038\/178978a0","type":"journal-article","article-title":"The role of oxygen in modifying the radiosensitivity of E. coli B","volume":"178","author":"Alper","year":"1956","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"pmbad31c8bib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"771","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nucmedbio.2011.02.002","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Characterization of positron emission tomography hypoxia tracer uptake and tissue oxygenation via electrochemical modeling","volume":"38","author":"Bowen","year":"2011","journal-title":"Nucl.
