RBE-weighted dose conversions for carbon ionradiotherapy between microdosimetric kinetic model and local effect model for the targets and organs at risk in prostate carcinoma.

CONCLUSION: For PCA receiving CIRT, the RBE-weighted doses using MKM for targets and OARs could be converted to LEM doses using conversion curves. PMID: 31710941 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
