Why RBE must be a variable and not a constant in proton therapy
<strong>Purpose:</strong> This paper considers why the proton therapy relative biological effect (RBE) should be variable rather than constant. <strong>Methods:</strong> The reasons for a variable proton RBE are enumerated, with qualitative and quantitative arguments. The het...
