title: Results of radiotherapy in craniopharyngiomas analysed by the linear quadratic model.
abstract: In 23 craniopharyngioma patients treated by limited surgery and external radiotherapy, the results concerning local control were analysed by linear quadratic formula. A biologically effective dose (BED) of 55 Gy, calculated with time factor and an alpha/beta value of 10 Gy, seemed to be adequate for local control.
