Proton linear energy transfer and variable relative biological effectiveness for adolescent patients with Hodgkin lymphoma

OBJECTIVES: Proton therapy has a theoretical dosimetric advantage due to the Bragg peak, but the linear energy transfer (LET), and therefore the relative biological effectiveness (RBE), increase at the end of range. For patients with Hodgkin lymphoma, the distal edge of beam is often located within...
