Towards Laser Driven Hadron Cancer Radiotherapy: A Review of Progress [PDF]

, 2014
It has been known for about sixty years that proton and heavy ion therapy is a very powerful radiation procedure for treating tumours. It has an innate ability to irradiate tumours with greater doses and spatial selectivity compared with electron and ...

A comparison of carbon ion radiotherapy and transarterial chemoembolization treatment outcomes for single hepatocellular carcinoma: a propensity score matching study

Radiation Oncology, 2019
Background We compared clinical outcomes of carbon ion radiotherapy and transarterial chemoembolization in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Data of 477 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who had undergone carbon ion radiotherapy or ...

Scintillating fiber devices for particle therapy applications [PDF]

, 2018
Particle Therapy (PT) is a radiation therapy technique in which solid tumors are treated with charged ions and exploits the achievable highly localized dose delivery, allowing to spare healthy tissues and organs at risk.

The detection of patients at risk of gastrointestinal toxicity during pelvic radiotherapy by electronic nose and FAIMS : a pilot study [PDF]

, 2012
It is well known that the electronic nose can be used to identify differences between human health and disease for a range of disorders. We present a pilot study to investigate if the electronic nose and a newer technology, FAIMS (Field Asymmetric Ion ...

A randomized controlled phase III study comparing hadrontherapy with carbon ions versus conventional radiotherapy – including photon and proton therapy – for the treatment of radioresistant tumors: the ETOILE trial

BMC Cancer, 2022
Background Some cancers such as sarcomas (bone and soft tissue sarcomas) and adenoid cystic carcinomas are considered as radioresistant to low linear energy transfer radiation (including photons and protons) and may therefore beneficiate from a carbon ...

In-room test results at CNAO of an innovative PT treatments online monitor (Dose Profiler) [PDF]

, 2018
The use of C, He and O ions as projectiles in Particle Therapy (PT) treatments is getting more and more widespread as a consequence of their enhanced relative biological effectiveness and oxygen enhancement ratio, when compared to the protons one.

Difference in Acquired Radioresistance Induction Between Repeated Photon and Particle Irradiation

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
In recent years, advanced radiation therapy techniques, including stereotactic body radiotherapy and carbon–ion radiotherapy, have progressed to such an extent that certain types of cancer can be treated with radiotherapy alone.

Effectiveness of Carbon Ion Radiation in Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
PurposeEffective treatment strategies for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) patients are eagerly warranted. Recently, convincing oncological outcomes were demonstrated by carbon ion radiotherapy.

Evaluation of resistive-plate-chamber-based TOF-PET applied to in-beam particle therapy monitoring [PDF]

, 2015
Particle therapy is a highly conformal radiotherapy technique which reduces the dose deposited to the surrounding normal tissues. In order to fully exploit its advantages, treatment monitoring is necessary to minimize uncertainties related to the dose ...
