For any detector to be used for the determination of absorbed dose at the point of measurement in water a basic equation is required to convert the reading of the detector into absorbed dose in water. The German DIN 6800 part 1 provides a general formalism for that. A further differentiated formalism applicable to photon dosimetry is suggested in this work. This modified formalism presents the two following still general and at the same time fundamental properties of any dosimetry detector: a) a clear distinction of correction factors with respect to the physical processes involved during the measurement, and b) the fact that the process of energy absorption in the detector is determined by the spectral distribution of the fluence of the secondary charged particles. It is concluded that based on the modified formalism and knowing this spectral distribution within the detector a general method is available with benefits for ionization chambers as well as for any other dosimetry detector and which is applicable at reference as well as non-reference conditions without any preconditions.

Objective - Panel-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly used for the diagnosis of EGFR-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and could improve risk assessment in combination with clinical parameters. - Materials and methods - To this end, we retrospectively analyzed the outcome of 400 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-treated EGFR+ NSCLC patients with validation of results in an independent cohort (n = 130). - Results - EGFR alterations other than exon 19 deletions (non-del19), TP53 co-mutations, and brain metastases at baseline showed independent associations of similar strengths with progression-free (PFS hazard ratios [HR] 2.1-2.3) and overall survival (OS HR 1.7-2.2), in combination defining patient subgroups with distinct outcome (EGFR+ NSCLC risk Score, "ENS", p < 0.001). Co-mutations beyond TP53 were rarely detected by our multigene panel (<5%) and not associated with clinical endpoints. Smoking did not affect outcome independently, but was associated with non-del19 EGFR mutations (p < 0.05) and comorbidities (p < 0.001). Laboratory parameters, like the blood lymphocyte-to-neutrophil ratio and serum LDH, correlated with the metastatic pattern (p < 0.01), but had no independent prognostic value. Reduced ECOG performance status (PS) was associated with comorbidities (p < 0.05) and shorter OS (p < 0.05), but preserved TKI efficacy. Non-adenocarcinoma histology was also associated with shorter OS (p < 0.05), but rare (2-3 %). The ECOG PS and non-adenocarcinoma histology could not be validated in our independent cohort, and did not increase the range of prognostication alongside the ENS. - Conclusions - EGFR variant, TP53 status and brain metastases predict TKI efficacy and survival in EGFR+ NSCLC irrespective of other currently available parameters ("ENS"). Together, they constitute a practical and reproducible approach for risk stratification of newly diagnosed metastatic EGFR+ NSCLC.
