English: Time evolution of a homogeneous tumor growth where only CCs are present for the low migration case. Tumor growth is allowed unchecked from a size of about 105 cells until about 106 cells are present. Then, a standard homogeneous radiation therapy corresponding to 30 sessions of 20 Gy each is delivered. Sessions from Monday to Friday are scheduled along 6 weeks, separated by 24 hours intervals except for weekends, where a 72 hours interval is allowed. Depicted in dark and light green (respectively, dark and light red) are proliferating and quiescent CCs (respectively, proliferating and quiescent CSCs). Dead cells are represented in black. See Figure 3 (A, B) in the article.
