Alpha Particle and Proton Beams in Therapy
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1963HEAVY PARTICLES, either charged or uncharged, are called "heavy" because they actually are very heavy when compared with the weight of the electron. The neutron is approximately 1,800 times the weight of the electron and, in the case of other heavy particles, such as alpha particles, carbon nuclei, and other elements higher in the periodic table, they ...

Proton-Beam Therapy for Prostate Cancer
The Cancer Journal, 2010The treatment options for prostate cancer include prostatectomy, external-beam irradiation, brachytherapy, cryosurgery, focused ultrasound, hormonal therapy, watchful waiting, and various combinations of these modalities. Because the prostate abuts the bladder and rectum, the dose distributions of external-beam irradiations and the accuracy of their ...

Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy, 2006
Proton beam therapy (PBT) has made it possible to deliver a higher concentration of radiation to the tumor by its Bragg-peak, and is easy to utilize due to the fact that its biological characteristics are identical with X-rays. PBT has a half-century history, and more than 40,000 patients have been reported as having had treatments with proton beams ...
