Exploration and application of phenomenological RBE models for proton therapy.

Conclusion: There were considerable variations between the estimations of RBE and RBE-weighted doses from the different RBE models. These variations were a consequence of fundamental differences in experimental databases, model assumptions and regression techniques. The results from implementation of RBE models in dose planning studies should be evaluated in light of these deviations. PMID: 30102240 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
