Establishment of a new three-dimensional dose evaluation method considering variable relative biological effectiveness and dose fractionation in proton therapy combined with high-dose-rate brachytherapy

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of variable relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of proton beam and dose fractionation has on dose distribution and to establish a new three-dimensional dose evaluation method for proton therapy combined with high-dose-rate (HDR) bra...
