The rationale for a carbon ion radiation therapy facility in Australia

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, 2023
Australia has taken a collaborative nationally networked approach to achieve particle therapy capability. This supports the under‐construction proton therapy facility in Adelaide, other potential proton centres and an under‐evaluation proposal for a ...

Carbon ion therapy for ameloblastic carcinoma [PDF]

Radiation Oncology, 2011
Ameloblastic carcinomas are rare odontogenic tumors. Treatment usually consists of surgical resection and sometimes adjuvant radiation. We report the case of a 71 year-old male patient undergoing carbon ion therapy for extensive local relapse of ...

Impact of Various Beam Parameters on Lateral Scattering in Proton and Carbon-ion Therapy

Journal of Biomedical Physics and Engineering, 2015
Background: In radiation therapy with ion beams, lateral distributions of absorbed dose in the tissue are important. Heavy ion therapy, such as carbon-ion therapy, is a novel technique of high-precision external radiotherapy which has advantages over ...

Benchmarking of PHITS for Carbon Ion Therapy. [PDF]

Int J Part Ther, 2018
Up to now, carbon ions have shown the most favorable physical and radiobiological properties for radiation therapy of, for example, deep-seated radioresistant tumors. However, when carbon ions penetrate matter, they undergo inelastic nuclear reactions that give rise to secondary fragments contributing to the dose in the healthy tissue.

Possibilities and challenges when using synthetic computed tomography in an adaptive carbon-ion treatment workflow

Zeitschrift für Medizinische Physik, 2023
Background and purpose: Anatomical surveillance during ion-beam therapy is the basis for an effective tumor treatment and optimal organ at risk (OAR) sparing. Synthetic computed tomography (sCT) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can replace the X-

Functional imaging-guided carbon ion irradiation with simultaneous integrated boost for localized prostate cancer: study protocol for a phase II randomized controlled clinical trial

Trials, 2022
Background Due to the physical dose distribution characteristic of “Bragg peak” and the biological effect as a kind of high linear energy transfer ray, heavy ion therapy has advantages over conventional photon therapy in both efficacy and safety.

Charged Particle Irradiation for Pancreatic Cancer: A Systematic Review of In Vitro Studies

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
PurposeGiven the higher precision accompanied by optimized sparing of normal tissue, charged particle therapy was thought of as a promising treatment for pancreatic cancer. However, systematic preclinical studies were scarce.
