2021-08-17 10:03:36 The organ sparing potential of different biological optimization strategies in proton therapy
https://www.advancesradonc.org/article/S2452-1094(21)00134-2/fulltext?rss=yes

Variable relative biological effectiveness (RBE) models allow for differences in linear energy transfer (LET), physical dose and tissue type to be accounted for when quantifying and optimizing the biological damage of protons. These models are complex and fraught with uncertainties, and therefore simpler RBE-optimization strategies have also been suggested. Our aim was to compare several biological optimization strategies for proton therapy by evaluating their performance in different clinical cases. Open / Comment
