A rare case of lacrimal gland adenocarcinoma successfully treated with carbon ion radiotherapy [PDF]
Primary malignant tumors of the lacrimal gland are very rare. The standard treatment typically involves wide surgical excision, which may include orbital bone resection and enucleation of the eyeball, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy.

Flourish of Proton and Carbon Ion Radiotherapy in China [PDF]
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

Genetic Analysis of T Cell Lymphomas in Carbon Ion-Irradiated Mice Reveals Frequent Interstitial Chromosome Deletions: Implications for Second Cancer Induction in Normal Tissues during Carbon Ion Radiotherapy. [PDF]
Monitoring mice exposed to carbon ion radiotherapy provides an indirect method to evaluate the potential for second cancer induction in normal tissues outside the radiotherapy target volume, since such estimates are not yet possible from historical ...
