Radiotherapy is one of the most widely employed tools in the fight against malignant cells of various types and its negative side-effects have seen considerable scrutiny. Digital tools have increasingly been used to ensure patients are given tolerable doses and that unintended tissue damage is avoided at all costs.

Given the obvious risks entailed, tools that simulate exposure to radiation have become increasingly popular among professionals working in the field. TDF Plan is one such tool, allowing physicians to prescribe radiotherapy regimens based on approximations made using linear-quadratic (LQ) and linear-quadratic-linear (LQ-L) models.

However, before any analyzes are conducted, it should be noted that this is only a simulator and all results should be thoroughly checked and double checked if medical treatments will be based on them. More-so, the application is not approved by any public institution (such as the FDA), so caution should be exercised.

These things being said, the program can be employed to determine radiotherapy treatments and doses adequate for individual patients. It is especially good at approximating treatment fractionation and biologically effective doses (BEDs).

Once users have defined a new patient, multiple parameters can be adjusted to simulate alternate conditions and check possible outcomes. One of the great functions of this application is that regardless of the chosen model (LQ or LQ-L) the program generates informative graphics, which track the evolution of the treatment over time.

In conclusion, TDF Plan is a great tool for anyone involved with Radiotherapy and similar processes requiring adequate fractionation to avoid side-effects and ensure a swift recovery for patients.

What's new in TDF Plan 1.8.8:

  • Added Cs-131 to the menu of brachytherapy radionuclides.
  • Fixed a bug involving the recently added 'Other' radionuclide half-life preference setting and also added an RBE preference setting for the 'Other' radionuclide.
