To assess different proton beam arrangements’ robustness for planning stereotactic body proton therapy (SBPT) to the liver.

There are many recent advances in linear energy transfer (LET) optimized proton therapy planning, radiation biology, immune therapy, and molecular imaging with the potential to improve the efficacy of radiation oncology. The aim of this talk is to present fea...

Current clinical toxicity models for predicting radiation-induced pneumonitis are limited by lack of functional information; furthermore, current practice assumes a relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1 for proton therapy patients. We hypothesize tha...
