Carbon‐ion radiation therapy for prostate cancer [PDF]
International Journal of Urology, 2012 AbstractIn 1994, carbon‐ion radiotherapy was started at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences using the Heavy‐Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba. Between June 1995 and March 2000, two phase I/II dose escalation studies (protocols 9402 and 9703) of hypofractionated carbon‐ion radiotherapy for both early‐ and advance‐stage prostate cancer ...
