Clinical implications of variable relative biological effectiveness in proton therapy for prostate cancer
Abstract
Purpose To study the potential consequences of differences in the evaluation of variable versus uniform relative biological effectiveness calculations in proton radiotherapy for prostate cancer.Methods and material Experimental data with proton beams suggest that relative biological effectiveness increases with linear energy transfer. This relation also depends on the α/β ratio, characteristic of a tissue and a considered endpoint. Three...
