For efficient application of protons and light ions in radiotherapy, detailed knowledge and realistic models of the corresponding radiobiological mechanism are necessary. Basic characteristics of this mechanism have been represented within a probabilistic two-stage model. The processes that occur immediately after the traversals of individual particles and the response of cell to the total damage formed by all the particles have been distinguished. The model involves a probabilistic description of DNA damage formation and repair processes, too.
