Optimizing the dose-averaged linear energy transfer for the dominant intraprostatic lesions in high-risk localized prostate cancer patients

Optimizing the dose-averaged linear energy transfer for the dominant intraprostatic lesions in high-risk localized prostate cancer patients

Background and purpose: Radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer often targets the entire prostate with a uniform dose despite the presence of high-risk dominant intraprostatic lesions (DILs). This study investigated the feasibility of focal dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LETd) boost for pr...
