This paper presents the details of a practical implementation of a model for the prediction of the tumor control probability (TCP) when a tumor is irradiated non-uniformly. The implementation is based on a previously published model and represents a simplified version of the model with a limited number (five) of parameters. We show how to derive the model parameters from clinically available data and offer pseudocode for computer implementation. The model should be a useful tool for evaluating and optimizing 3D dose distributions.
