Inter-fractional Variation of Linear Energy Transfer Profiles During Carbon-ion Radiotherapy for Pancreatic Cancer
During CIRT for pancreatic cancer, inter-fractional variations in LET<sub>d</sub> profiles may be more pronounced at larger target volumes and at lower L<sub>X%</sub> values. Although the variations were modest in most cases, inter-fractional changes in bowel gas within the beam path are a potential risk factor for reduced LET<sub>d</sub> coverage.
