Calculating normal tissue complication probabilities and probabilities of complication-free tumour control from stochastic models of population dynamics
Peter G. Hufton, Elizabeth Buckingham-Jeffery, Tobias Galla
We use a stochastic birth-death model for a population of cells to estimate the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) under a particular radiotherapy protocol. We specifica…

Model reduction methods for classical stochastic systems with fast-switching environments: reduced master equations, stochastic differential equations, and applications
Peter G. Hufton, Yen Ting Lin, Tobias Galla
We study classical stochastic systems with discrete states, coupled to switching external environments. For fast environmental processes we derive reduced dynamics for the system i…
