“…Compared to human tissue samples, cultured tumor cell lines are easier to use, and widely available. Numerous tumor cell lines have been established and well-characterized, and also imple-mented in studying radiopharmaceuticals for MRT (see e. g. [8,9]). In these studies, however, the activity has often been assumed to distribute homogeneously in the cells, and there is uncertainty of how to include the dose equivalent from radiopharmaceuticals to assessed endpoints such as spheroid control probability (SCP, the dose-dependent proportion of non-regrown spheroids after irradiation) and spheroid control dose 50% (SCD 50 , the irradiation dose inducing 50% loss of spheroid regrowth).…”
