Definition of RBE
Ratio of D250/Dr: (as defined by National Bureau of Standards, 1954)Doses of x-rays (D250kV) and the test radiation (Dr) required for equalbiological effectCGE = RBE x (physical proton dose)(cobalt
gray
equivalent)
RBE depends on multiple parametersRadiation quality (LET); dose; numbers of dose fractions; dose rate
Which endpoint is considered?Which treatment regimen is compared?

CHALLENGES (from
biological
point of view):
Generic RBE of 1.1 is currently used
RBE is variable
Where does RBE-value derive from?
How do we explain differences on molecular and cellular level?
Can we exploit these differences – are the same 4/5 R‘s relevant?
Stratification along biological parameters; genetic background?

Summary
RBE 1.10
Data are avaliable only from cellular and animalexperimentsno human-tissue response dataClinical experience does not indicate that RBE value isdifferent from 1.10Generic value of 1.10 fits best pooled RBE values fromin vivo studies
Do we need to take microdosimetry-values intoconsideration? Fractionation? Dose Rate?Where does diff. RBE derive from?
