N2 - This biophysical study aimed to determine fitting parameters for the Lyman–Kutcher–Burman (LKB) dose–response model for normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) calculations of acute side effects and to investigate the impact of reduced radiation doses on the probability of their occurrence in supradiaphragmatic non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) irradiation. A cohort of 114 patients with NHL in the cervicothoracic region, treated between 2015 and 2021 at the University Hospitals of Münster, Hamburg, and Essen, with involved site radiation therapy (ISRT), were included. Among them, 68 patients with aggressive NHL (a-NHL) received consolidative radiation therapy with 24–54 Gy following (R-)CHOP chemotherapy. Additionally, 46 patients with indolent NHL (i-NHL) underwent radiotherapy with 22.5–45.0 Gy. Two treatment plans were prospectively created for each patient (a-NHL: 30.0/40.0 Gy; i-NHL: 24.0/30.0 Gy). NTCP were then calculated using the optimized LKB model. The adapted dose–response models properly predicted the patient’s probability of developing acute side effects when receiving doses ≤ 50 Gy. In addition, it was shown that reduced radiation doses can influence the NTCP of acute side effects depending on the aggressiveness of NHL significantly. This study provided a foundation to prospectively assess the probability of adverse side effects among today’s reduced radiation doses in the treatment of NHL.
