Understanding RBE and clinical outcome of prostate cancer therapy using particle irradiation: analysis of tumor control probability with mMKM

CONCLUSIONS: Our mMKM-based model for prostate cancer treatment planning and TCP prediction was validated against clinical data for proton and carbon ion therapy and its application was extended to helium ion therapy. Based on the data presented in this work, mMKM seems to be a good candidate for clinical biological calculations in carbon ion therapy for prostate …
