Carbon Ion Radiotherapy in the Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Journal of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, 2021
Localized hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is unresectable and non-transplantable can be treated by several liver-directed therapies. External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is an increasingly accepted and widely utilized treatment modality in this setting.

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

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
