Relating proton LETd to biological response of parotid and submandibular glands using PSMA-PET in clinical patients
Our study did not find clear evidence of an increased RBE in parotid and submandibular glands with increasing LET<sub>d</sub>. On average an LET<sub>d</sub> effect was observed, however our sample size was too small to clearly define an RBE-LET relation. A larger cohort scanned at later time intervals could shed more light on this issue.
