Biophysical modeling and experimental validation of relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for 4He ion beam therapy

Abstract Background Helium (4He) ion beam therapy provides favorable biophysical characteristics compared to currently administered particle therapies, i.e., reduced lateral scattering and enhanced biological damage to deep-seated tumors like heavier ions, while simultaneously lessened particle frag...
