Fig. 3: Impact of dose fractionation strategies on treatment outcome.

Here the total dose is fixed (arbitrarily at 50), and the effect of fractionating this cumulative dose by number of doses and spacing between them is evaluated. a Binary outcome of whether the tumor is eliminated (green) or not (red). b Area under the curve (\({AU}{C}_{0-\tau }\), where \(\tau\) represents spacing between doses), (c) Minimum concentration at steady state (\({C}_{\min }\)) and (d) average concentration at steady state (\({C}_{{\rm{avg}}}\)), corresponding to each dose number-dose spacing combination.
