Table 4 Summary of the results from the fit of the two normal tissue complication probability models for xerostomia and dry eye. AUC = area under the curve. Response rate is the average of the response rates predicted by the models. OR = Odds ratio. Threshold doses refer to gEUD and \(\overline{\overline{D}}\) (for the LKB and RS models, respectively). The p value was calculated using the two sample t-test for the patient subgroups above and below the dose threshold (the null hypothesis is that the true mean difference is zero)
