Abstract
In 23 craniopharyngioma patients treated by limited surgery and extern al radiotherapy, the results concerning local control were analysed by linear quadratic formula. A biologically effective dose (BED) of 55 G y, calculated with time factor and an alpha/beta value of 10 Gy, seeme d to be adequate for local control.
