Purpose Currently, there is an intense debate on variations in intra-cerebral radiosensitivity
and relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in proton therapy of primary brain tumours. Here …

The University Proton Therapy facility in Dresden (UPTD), Germany, is equipped with an
experimental room with a beamline providing a static pencil beam. High proton beam …

This position paper, led by the NRG Oncology Particle Therapy Work Group, focuses on the
concept of relative biologic effect (RBE) in clinical proton therapy, with the goal of providing …
