520 3 _aThis book is an extension and major update of the author's previous work, titled Practical Radiobiology for Proton Therapy Planning (IOP Publishing 2018). The book describes the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) issues within proton therapy and advises on how to use a variable RBE within treatment planning and in dose prescription to improve the safety of proton and other forms on ion beam therapy. Decision-making advice is also provided for protocol breaches, retreatments, dose rate effects and risk assessment. This book is intended for those who already have basic knowledge of radiotherapy and radiobiology, although there is guidance through the fundamental principles for those who are 'discipline crossing'. Part of IPEM-IOP Series in Physics and Engineering in Medicine and Biology.

545 _aBleddyn Jones, MD ScD FRCR, is an Emeritus Professor of Clinical Radiation Biology, University of Oxford. He has had over 40 years of interest and high impact research in neutron, proton and ion beam therapy and its associated radiobiology. He has made extensive contributions to the quantitative understanding of the relative biological effectiveness of particle therapy from the ballistic properties to their cellular and tissue effects. This includes many practical applications based on specific clinical situations, to guide proton therapy to safer and more effective outcomes.
