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.

Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG/PET) shows the effect of carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT); with pathologic confirmation

Radiology Case Reports, 2023
Response evaluation of carbon-ion radiotherapy poses a diagnostic challenge. Due to its functional aspects, fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG/PET) has a role in the diagnosis of photon radiation therapy.

Particle radiotherapy with carbon ion beams [PDF]

EPMA Journal, 2013
Carbon ion radiotherapy offers superior dose conformity in the treatment of deep-seated malignant tumours compared with conventional X-ray therapy. In addition, carbon ion beams have a higher relative biological effectiveness compared with protons or X-ray beams. The algorithm of treatment planning and beam delivery system is tailored to the individual

Respiration-gated fast-rescanning carbon-ion radiotherapy [PDF]

Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2016
Phase-controlled rescanning of the carbon-ion beam offers fast and precise dose application with decreased irradiation of normal tissue. However, organ movement with respiration remains a unique challenge. Technological development has enabled the simultaneous application of beam-energy-modulated markerless phase-controlled rescanning with respiration ...
