TL;DR
Overall treatment time and blood transfusions during treatment were the two most highly significant factors in the multivariate analysis and suggest that overall treatment time might be a highly significant prognostic factor in the treatment outcome of advanced cervical carcinomas.
Abstract
These results suggest that overall treatment time might be a highly significant prognostic factor in the treatment outcome of advanced cervical carcinomas. Prospective randomized studies are strongly warranted to confirm this hypothesis.

Acta OncologicaThe hazard of accelerated tumor clonogen repopulation during radiotherapy
1,599 Citations1988H. Rodney Withers, Jeremy M. G. Taylor +1 more
It is suggested that, on average, clonogen repopulation in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck accelerates only after a lag period of the order of 4 +/- 1 weeks after initiation of radiotherapy and that a dose increment of about 0.6 Gy per day is required to compensate for this repopulating.
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*PhysicsLoss of local control with prolongation in radiotherapy
489 Citations1992J. F. Fowler, Mary J. Lindstrom
It is clear that modest prolongation is associated with a lower chance of local control, and the magnitude of time factors relating local control to overall time is determined.
Radiotherapy and OncologyThe effect of treatment duration in the local control of cervix cancer
386 Citations1992Anthony Fyles, Thomas J. Keane +2 more
A significant effect of treatment duration on pelvic control was found in 830 patients with cervix cancer treated by radical radiation therapy, which is consistent with the occurrence of accelerated repopulation and warrant further investigation.
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*PhysicsThe influence of treatment time on outcome for squamous cell cancer of the uterine cervix treated with radiation: A patterns-of-care study
337 Citations1993Rachelle Lanciano, Thomas F. Pajak +2 more
A significant adverse effect on survival and pelvic control with prolongation of the total radiation treatment time for Stage III squamous cell cancer of the uterine cervix is demonstrated in multivariate analysis.
British Journal of CancerMeasurement of cell kinetics in human tumours in vivo using bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and flow cytometry
307 Citations1988George D. Wilson, N. J. McNally +5 more
The striking feature of the study was that 38% of the tumours had a potential doubling time of 5 days or less, and there was no relationship between proliferation and histopathological differentiation or DNA ploidy.
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*PhysicsThe influence of the number of fractions and of overall treatment time on local control and late complication rate in squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx
285 Citations1983B. Maciejewski, Gunhild Preuss-Bayer +1 more
Whereas the late complication rate depended significantly on dose per fraction, local tumor control depended strongly on overall treatment time.

Radiotherapy and OncologyThe effect of treatment time and treatment interruption on tumour control following radical radiotherapy of laryngeal cancer
238 Citations1992Michael Bartoň, Thomas J. Keane +2 more
To provide an estimate of the clinical impact of treatment interruptions not compensated for by dose escalation a Cox regression was performed and it was calculated that each day of treatment interruption resulted in an increase in the hazard of local relapse by 4.8%.
Radiotherapy and OncologyDose fractionation and tumour repopulation in radiotherapy for bladder cancer
166 Citations1991B. Maciejewski, Stanislaw Majewski
Overall treatment time is an important factor in the dose fractionation and protraction of time may have a significant impact on treatment outcome and total dose for high probability of local tumour control should consequently be delivered in more than 5 fractions per week.
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*PhysicsElapsed treatment days—A critical item for radiotherapy quality control review in head and neck trials: RTOG report
156 Citations1991Thomas F. Pajak, George E. Laramore +6 more
The criteria for unacceptable "overall" treatment were revised to include prolonged elapsed treatment days after multivariate analyses showed patients with significantly poorer loco-regional control and absolute survival even after adjusting for other prognostic factors.

102 Citations1988A.C. Begg, L. Moonen +3 more
It is concluded that this kinetic method using low IUdR doses can be successfully applied in human tumours and has sufficient accuracy for predictive assay applications in which tumours need to be classified according to their proliferation rates.

Tumor repopulation during excessively protracted treatment may be a clinically significant factor in patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate, according to five-year local control rates.

With advancing T-stage a lower survival and higher local relapse rate was found; that is, a 5-year relapse-free survival of 53% and corrected survival of 83% for T2 tumors vs 39% (RFS) and 52% (CS) for T4 tumors.

The use of logistic regression for the analysis of local control data is illustrated via a re-analysis of previously published data and a larger effect of overall time is found than in the original publication.
