Flourish of Proton and Carbon Ion Radiotherapy in China [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2022 Proton and heavy ion therapy offer superior relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in the treatment of deep-seated tumors compared with conventional photon radiotherapy due to its Bragg-peak feature of energy deposition in organs. Many proton and carbon

Carbon‐ion radiotherapy for urological cancers
International Journal of Urology, 2022 AbstractCarbon‐ions are charged particles with a high linear energy transfer, and therefore, they make a better dose distribution with greater biological effects on the tumors compared with photons and protons. Since prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and retroperitoneal sarcomas such as liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma are known to be radioresistant
