Abstract
Current arguments concerning the variability of RBE in treatment plans are reviewed
and cases are discussed where proton therapy may require the use of treatment
planning systems in which a variable RBE is implemented. Novel and recently
introduced treatment modalities, such as Proton Arc Therapy, are considered. Risk
management following the implementation of a variable RBE in proton therapy planning
is also introduced and discussed.
