Carbon-ion Radiotherapy for Colorectal Cancer

Journal of the Anus, Rectum and Colon, 2021
Heavy-ion radiotherapy (RT) is a kind of particle RT, and carbon-ion beam constitutes the primary delivery method of heavy-ion RT. Unlike the conventional photon modalities, particle RT, in particular carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT), offers unique ...

Carbon ion radiotherapy for unresectable localized axial soft tissue sarcoma

Cancer Medicine, 2018
Carbon ion radiotherapy is known for its high‐precision dose distribution and high biological effectiveness. We evaluated the results of carbon ion radiotherapy in 128 patients with unresectable localized axial soft tissue sarcoma at a single institution.

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

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

The Emerging Role of Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy [PDF]

Frontiers in Oncology, 2016
Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has progressed rapidly in technological delivery, indications, and efficacy. Owing to a focused dose distribution in addition to high linear energy transfer and subsequently high relative biological effect, CIRT is uniquely

Carbon Ion Radiotherapy for Oligo-Recurrence in the Lung [PDF]

Pulmonary Medicine, 2013
The clinical results after carbon ion radiotherapy for the metastatic lung tumors believed to be in the state of oligo-recurrence were evaluated. One hundred and sixteen lesions in 91 patients with lung cancer metastasis were treated with carbon ion ...

Radiation-induced organizing pneumonia caused by carbon-ion radiotherapy for lung cancer

Radiology Case Reports
Radiation-induced organizing pneumonia is a rare complication of radiation therapy for thoracic cancer. Carbon-ion radiotherapy, an emerging treatment modality for early-stage lung cancer treatment, can also cause lung injuries.

Clinical Results of Carbon Ion Radiotherapy at NIRS [PDF]

Journal of Radiation Research, 2007
In 1994 a Phase I/II clinical study on carbon ion radiotherapy was begun at NIRS using HIMAC, which was then the world's only heavy ion accelerator complex dedicated to medical use in a hospital environment. Among several types of ion species, we have chosen carbon ions for cancer therapy because they had the most optimal properties in terms of ...

FLASH radiotherapy with carbon ion beams [PDF]

Medical Physics, 2021
AbstractFLASH radiotherapy is considered a new potential breakthrough in cancer treatment. Ultra‐high dose rates (>40 Gy/s) have been shown to reduce toxicity in the normal tissue without compromising tumor control, resulting in a widened therapeutic window.
