Basics of particle therapy II: relative biological effectiveness
In the previous review, the physical aspect of heavy particles, with a focus on the carbon beam was introduced. Particle beam therapy has many potential advantages for cancer treatment without increasing severe side effects in normal tissue, these kinds of radiation have different biologic characteristics and have advantages over using conventional photon beam radiation during treatment. The re...
متن کاملBasics of particle therapy I: physics
With the advance of modern radiation therapy technique, radiation dose conformation and dose distribution have improved dramatically. However, the progress does not completely fulfill the goal of cancer treatment such as improved local control or survival. The discordances with the clinical results are from the biophysical nature of photon, which is the main source of radiation therapy in curre...
متن کاملEvaluation of the relative biological effectiveness of the Auger electrons produced during gadolinium neutron capture therapy using microdosimetric approach
Determination of the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of Auger electrons is a challenging task in radiobiology. In this study, we have estimated the RBE of internal conversion (IC) and Auger electrons released during Gadolinium neutron capture reaction (GNCR) by means of biological weighting functions (BWFs) with microdosimetric approach. Regarding the different distribution of Gadoliniu...
متن کاملAnalysis of Relative Biological Effectiveness of Proton Beams and Iso-effective Dose Profiles Using Geant4
Background: The assessment of RBE quantity in the treatment of cancer tumors with proton beams in treatment planning systems (TPS) is of high significance. Given the significance of the issue and the studies conducted in the literature, this quantity is fixed and is taken as equal to 1.1.Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess RBE quantity of proton beams and their variations ...
