Abstract Linear Energy Transfer (LET) is widely used to express the radiation quality of ion
beams, when characterizing the biological effectiveness. However, averaged LET may be …

In this review article, we review the 3 important aspects of linear-energy-transfer (LET) in
intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for head and neck (H&N) cancer management …

Proton therapy is increasingly being used as a radiation therapy modality. There is
uncertainty about the biological effectiveness of protons relative to photon therapies as it …

In breast cancer radiation therapy, minimizing radiation-related risks and toxicity is vital for
improving life expectancy. Tailoring radiotherapy techniques and treatment positions can …

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the LETd-weighted biological dose to OARs in proton therapy
for breast cancer and to study the relationship of the LETd-weighted biological dose relative …

Background Variable relative biological effectiveness (vRBE) in proton therapy might
significantly modify the prediction of RBE-weighted dose delivered to a patient during proton …

Background Clinically, a constant value of 1.1 is used for the relative biological effectiveness
(RBE) of protons, whereas in vitro the RBE has been shown to vary depending on physical …

This is a comment on" Comments on" Temporal lobe sparing radiotherapy with photons or
protons for cognitive function preservation in paediatric craniopharyngioma" by Toussaint, et …

The concept of this theoretical work has been boosted by the fact that different medium
responds to ionizing radiation in different ways. In diagnostic radiology, patients are being …
