Brachial Plexopathy in Head and Neck Cancer Potentially Related to LET-Dependent RBE

Proton beam therapy for head and neck cancers traditionally employs a fixed relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of 1.1, which may underestimate actual biological effects in critical structures. This study evaluates how Linear Energy Transfer (LET) optimization could potentially prevent radiation...
