[Particle therapy: carbon ions].
Bulletin du cancer, 2010Carbon ion therapy is an innovative radiation therapy. It has been first proposed in the forties by Robert Wilson, however the first dedicated centres for human care have been build up only recently in Japan and Germany. The interest of carbon ion is twofold: 1) the very sharp targeting of the tumour with the so called spread out Bragg peak that ...

Carbon ion radiation therapy for high-risk meningiomas
Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2010We analyzed outcome after a carbon ion boost in combination with precision photon radiation therapy in patients with meningiomas.Ten patients with meningiomas were treated with carbon ion RT as part of a Phase I/II trial. Carbon ion RT was conducted in conjunction with fractionated stereotactic RT (FSRT) or intensity-modulated RT (IMRT). Eight patients

Proton and Carbon Ion Therapy of Intracranial Gliomas
2018In comparison to photon irradiation, particle therapy of cancer performed either with protons or with carbon ions, offers the advantage of their distinct physical characteristics, and through delivery of high linear energy transfer (LET) particles, exploits greater relative biological effectiveness (RBE).

Radiobiological issues in prospective carbon ion therapy trials
Medical Physics, 2018Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) is developing toward a versatile tool in radiotherapy; however, the increased relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of carbon ions in tumors and normal tissues with respect to photon irradiation has to be considered by mathematical models in treatment planning.

Proton Beam Therapy and Carbon Ion Radiotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Seminars in Radiation Oncology, 2018Charged particle therapy with proton beam therapy (PBT) and carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has emerged as a promising radiation modality to minimize radiation hepatotoxicity while maintaining high rates of tumor local control. Both PBT and CIRT deposit the majority of their dose at the Bragg peak with little to no exit dose, resulting in superior ...

Clinical Experiences with Carbon Ion Therapy
2015Ion beam radiotherapy began with the use of proton beams at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) in 1954. There, it was used heavy loaded cores as helium, carbon, nitrogen, neon, silicon, and argon, for clinical use, by measuring their effectiveness. In the period from 1977 to 1992, patients were treated with helium and neon ions.

The Use of Proton and Carbon Ion Radiation Therapy for Sarcomas
Seminars in Radiation OncologyThe unique physical and biological characteristics of proton and carbon ions allow for improved sparing of normal tissues, decreased integral dose to the body, and increased biological effect through high linear energy transfer. These properties are particularly useful for sarcomas given their histology, wide array of locations, and age of diagnosis ...
