Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) of Monoenergetic Protons: Comparison of Empirical and Biophysical Models

Applied Sciences
A constant proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 for tumor control is currently used in proton therapy treatment planning. However, in vitro, in vivo and clinical experiences indicate that proton RBE varies with kinetic energy and ...

Population-Level Benefits from Providing Effective HIV Prevention Means to Pregnant Women in High Prevalence Settings [PDF]

, 2013
Background:HIV prevalence among pregnant women in Southern Africa is extremely high. Epidemiological studies suggest that pregnancy increases the risk of HIV sexual acquisition and that HIV infections acquired during pregnancy carry higher risk of mother-

Modelling variable proton relative biological effectiveness for treatment planning. [PDF]

Br J Radiol, 2020
Dose in proton radiotherapy is generally prescribed by scaling the physical proton dose by a constant value of 1.1. Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is defined as the ratio of doses required by two radiation modalities to cause the same level of biological effect. The adoption of an RBE of 1.1.
