Abstract
These studies provide new information to quantify and assess uncertainties in the clinically relevant RBE values for carbon ion therapy based on biophysical mechanisms. We present results from the first biological optimization of carbon ion radiation therapy beams on patient data using a combined RMF and Monte Carlo damage simulation modeling approach. The presented method is advantageous for fast biological optimization.
