Slower regrowth in situ after X-rays than after hyperthermia would produce a larger growth delay for X-rays than for hyperthermia, for equal levels of tumour-cell kill or probability of tumour sterilization.
Subject to normal tissue toxicity constraints, the overall objective is to maximize the expectation of differential cell killing, defined as the probability of killing a malignant cell relative to the probability of killing a normal cell (i.e. the odds), or the log thereof.
