History of hadron therapy accelerators [PDF]

open access: yesPhysica Medica, 2015
In the last 60 years, hadron therapy has made great advances passing from a stage of pure research to a well-established treatment modality for solid tumours. In this paper the history of hadron therapy accelerators is reviewed, starting from the first cyclotrons used in the thirties for neutron therapy and passing to more modern and flexible machines ...

Shielding Studies for a Hadron Therapy Center [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Technology, 2009
The Ion Beam Applications Company is developing a compact superconducting cyclotron for hadron therapy. This C400 cyclotron will deliver 400 MeV per nucleon 12 C beams and will be installed in the Advanced Resource Center for Hadrontherapy in Europe in Caen, France. Shielding studies are based on the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS)

Cancer epidemiology and patient recruitment for hadron therapy [PDF]

open access: yesStrahlentherapie und Onkologie, 1999
Patient recruitment is an important issue in the feasibility study of a hadron therapy programme such as Med-AUSTRON. Data on cancer incidence in Europe, Austria, and neighbouring countries are reviewed for the most frequent tumors suitable for charged particle therapy.

Solid State Microdosimetry in Hadron Therapy

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2002
A report of recent developments in silicon microdosimetry is presented. SOI based microdosemeters have shown promise as a viable alternative to traditional tissue-equivalent proportional counters. The application of these silicon microdosemeters to such radiation therapy modalities as boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), boron neutron capture ...

Preliminary results of the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) as real-time beam monitor in hadron therapy [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2017
The use of proton and carbon ion beams in cancer therapy (also known as hadron therapy) is progressively growing worldwide due to their improved dose distributions, sparing of healthy tissues and (for carbon ions) increased radiobiological effectiveness ...

Perspectives of hadron therapy in Mexico

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008
The need for a hadron therapy center in Mexico is presented. The question if such a facility is affordable in Mexico is discussed, addressing the economical factor as well as the expertise and know how available in both the private and the public sector. To conclude, a possible path, and the first steps on it, to move forward towards a medical facility

Nuclear Physics and Hadron Therapy

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2011
Hadron therapy uses light charged particles beams (mainly proton and 12C ions) to irradiate tumors. These beams present a ballistic advantage with a maximum energy deposition at the end of the path. A large dose can be delivered inside a deep tumor while the surrounding healthy tissues are preserved.

Hadron Therapy in Latin America

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
The use of proton and heavy ion beams for radiotherapy is a well established cancer treatment modality in the first world, which is becoming increasingly widespread, due to its clear advantages over conventional photon-based treatments. This strategy is suitable when the tumor is spatially well localized. Also the use of neutrons has tradition.
