For a tumour that requires 18 days to double its diameter, calculate the approximate cell cycle time of the cells

a) For a tumour that requires 18 days to double its diameter, calculate
the approximate cell cycle time of the cells (assume no cell loss and
that all cells are actively dividing). (2
marks)
b) i) Draw a labelled graph of the typical relationship between radiation
dose and tumour control probability (TCP) expected from a radical
course of radiotherapy and describe the events underlying each
section of the curve. (4
marks)
ii) Briefly describe how this relationship changes for:
1) a larger population of patients with similar tumours receiving
the same treatment. (2
marks)
2) radiotherapy being delivered as adjuvant treatment. (2
