A treatment planning study of combined carbon ion-beam plus photon intensity-modulated radiotherapy
Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2020 Background and purpose: Combined photon intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and sequential dose-escalated carbon ion beam therapy (IBT) is a technically advanced treatment option for head and neck malignancies. We proposed and evaluated an integrated
