Biological Rationale and Clinical Evidence of Carbon Ion Radiation Therapy for Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma: A Narrative Review

Frontiers in Oncology, 2021
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, basaloid, epithelial tumor, arising mostly from salivary glands. Radiation therapy can be employed as a single modality for unresectable tumors, in an adjuvant setting after uncomplete resection, in case of high ...

Design of a Curved Superconducting Combined Function Bending Magnet Demonstrator for Hadron Therapy [PDF]

, 2022
Curved superconducting bending magnets have clear potential for compact hadron therapy gantries and medical synchrotrons. A combined function superconducting bending magnet design based on collared cos-theta coils is proposed for a new compact and cost ...

Range verification methods in particle therapy: underlying physics and Monte Carlo modelling

Frontiers in Oncology, 2015
Hadron therapy allows for highly conformal dose distributions and better sparing of organs-at-risk, thanks to the characteristic dose deposition as function of depth. However, the quality of hadron therapy treatments is closely connected with the ability

Experimental validation of Geant4 nuclear interaction models in dose calculations of therapeutic carbon ion beams

Medical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Background The choice of nuclear interaction models in Monte Carlo simulations affects the dose calculation accuracy for light ion beam therapy. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the dose calculation accuracy and simulation time of three GATE‐RTiON/Geant4 physics lists for therapeutic carbon ion beams, assessing their suitability for ...

Field output correction factors using a scintillation detector

Medical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 6, Page 4844-4861, June 2025.
Abstract Background As small radiation fields play an ever‐increasing role in radiation therapy, accurate dosimetry of these fields becomes critical to ensure high quality dose calculation and treatment optimization. Despite the availability of several small volume dose detectors, small field dosimetry remains challenging.
