This book describes the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) issues within proton therapy and advises on how to use a variable RBE within treatment planning and in dose prescription to improve the safety of proton and other forms on ion beam therapy. Decision-making advice is also provided for protocol breaches, retreatments, dose rate effects and risk assessment.

This book covers the principles, advantages and potential pitfalls that occur in proton therapy, especially its radiobiological modelling applications. It is intended to educate, inform and stimulate further research questions by blending the relevant physics, biology and medical aspects of this multidisciplinary subject.
