Development and dosimetric verification of static SHArc: Step-and-shoot carbon ion arc therapy for LET<sub>d</sub> escalation in pancreatic tumors. [PDF]
Med PhysAbstract Background Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) offers higher linear energy transfer (LET) and superior relative biological effectiveness, making it a promising option for treating hypoxic, radioresistant tumors. Spot‐scanning Hadron Arc (SHArc) therapy enables dose‐averaged LET (LETd) escalation in the tumor but increases planning and setup ...
