Review on heavy ion radiotherapy facilities and related ion sources (invited) [PDF]

open access: yesReview of Scientific Instruments, 2010
Heavy ion radiotherapy awakens worldwide interest recently. The clinical results obtained by the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Japan have clearly demonstrated the advantages of carbon ion radiotherapy. Presently, there are four facilities for heavy ion radiotherapy in operation, and several

Research Progress of Heavy Ion Radiotherapy for Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a high incidence and poses a serious threat to human health. However, the treatment outcomes of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for non-small-cell lung cancer are still unsatisfactory, especially for high grade lesions.

Histone deacetylase inhibition sensitizes osteosarcoma to heavy ion radiotherapy [PDF]

open access: yesRadiation Oncology, 2015
Minimal improvements in treatment or survival of patients with osteosarcoma have been achieved during the last three decades. Especially in the case of incomplete tumor resection, prognosis remains poor. Heavy ion radiotherapy (HIT) and modern anticancer drugs like histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have shown promising effects in osteosarcoma in ...

Carbon-ion Radiotherapy for Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesJournal of the Anus, Rectum and Colon, 2021
Heavy-ion radiotherapy (RT) is a kind of particle RT, and carbon-ion beam constitutes the primary delivery method of heavy-ion RT. Unlike the conventional photon modalities, particle RT, in particular carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT), offers unique ...

Early prediction of tumor response to carbon ion radiotherapy via 18F-FMISO PET/CT in patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology
BackgroundHypoxia increases resistance to carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) in locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC, stage II-III). This study aimed to develop a hypoxia-related model based on 18F-fluoromisonidazole (FMISO) positron ...

HEAVY ION RADIOTHERAPY

open access: yesLe Journal de Physique Colloques, 1989
After a short historical note on the origins of radiotherapy, this paper reviews the main specifications of radiations used for therapy. One main characteristic is the dose distribution in the patient's body, the other is the so-called "oxygen enhancement ratio" (O.E.R.) which is related to the linear energy transfer (L.E.T.).

Development of heavy-ion radiotherapy technology with HIMAC

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series, 2016
Since 1994, HIMAC has carried out clinical studies and treatments for more than 9000 cancer patients with carbon-ion beams. During the first decade of the HIMAC study, a single beam-wobbling method, adopted as the HIMAC beam-delivery technique, was improved for treatments of moving tumors and for obtaining more conformal dose distribution.

Design of a Dedicated Heavy Ion Accelerator for Radiotherapy [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science, 1983
A new heavy ion accelerator facility for radiotherapy is being designed at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Performance requirements have been established. Ions from helium to argon can be accelerated to a maximum energy of 800 MeV/nucleon with intensities in the range 108-109 particles per second.
