In 2003, investigators from TBCC conducted a dosimetry study to determine the equivalent hypofractionated dose given over 16 fractions. The results, presented by this principal investigator at the European Cancer Conference in September 2003 and at the Canadian Association of Radiation Oncologists scientific meeting in October 2003, showed that a dose of 55 Gy in 16 fractions given over four weeks is a biologically equivalent course of treatment compared to current standard treatment over seven to eight weeks at the CCI.
