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.

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.

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

FLASH radiotherapy with carbon ion beams [PDF]

Medical Physics, 2021
Abstract FLASH 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.

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

Carbon ion radiotherapy for sacral chordoma [PDF]

The British Journal of Radiology, 2011
The National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Chiba, Japan has offered carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) since 1994 using carbon ion beams generated by the heavy ion medical accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC). The total number of cases treated with the HIMAC exceeded 5000 in July 2009.

Recent Innovations in Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy [PDF]

Journal of Radiation Research, 2010
In the last few years, hospital-based facilities for carbon-ion radiotherapy are being constructed and proposed in Europe and Asia. During the next few years, several new facilities will be opened for carbon-ion radiotherapy in the world. These facilities in operation or under construction are categorized in two types by the beam shaping method used ...

Recurrent lumbar-origin osteoblastoma treated with multiple surgery and carbon ion radiotherapy: a case report

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Although osteoblastoma is an uncommon benign bone tumor, it sometimes behaves in a locally aggressive fashion. We herein report a case of recurrent lumbar spine osteoblastoma that was treated by repeated surgery and carbon ion radiotherapy ...
