Carbon ion radiotherapy for inoperable pediatric osteosarcoma [PDF]

Oncotarget, 2018
Unresectable pediatric osteosarcoma has poor outcomes with conventional treatments.Twenty-six patients aged 11-20 years (median 16) had inoperable osteosarcoma of the trunk (24 pelvic, 1 mediastinal and 1 paravertebral) without any other lesion at initial examination. There were 22 primary, 1 locally recurrent and 3 metastatic cases.

Carbon Ion Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Clinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2023
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly lethal cancer with limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has emerged as a promising treatment modality for HCC due to its unique physical and biological properties. CIRT uses carbon ions to target and destroy cancer cells with a high precision and efficacy. The Bragg Peak
