Carbon-ion Radiotherapy for Non-squamous Cell Head and Neck Malignancies
The head and neck region consists of subsites, including the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal sinuses, salivary glands, and orbits, and contains important organs performing functions that are directly related to the Quality of Life (QOL), such as chewing, swallowing, and phonation. It has been reported that 32% of head and neck cancers occur in the oral cavity, 24% in the larynx, 35% in the ...
متن کاملTreatment Planning for the Carbon Ion Radiotherapy
In the three therapy beam times 2007 about 50 patients were planned and treated with our treatment planning software, TRiP98, and its development version, TRiP98BEAM. In the past, the standard method was to optimize the biological target dose distribution for the contributing partial fields singly. Due to the enormous effort for the computation of biological effects, only a simple, but still su...
متن کاملCarbon ion radiotherapy for unresectable sacral chordomas.
PURPOSE The purpose is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of carbon ion radiotherapy for unresectable sacral chordomas. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We performed a retrospective analysis of 30 patients with unresectable sacral chordomas treated with carbon ion radiotherapy at the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba, Japan. Twenty-three patients presented with no prior treatment, and the remainin...
متن کاملLong-term outcomes after carbon-ion radiotherapy for oral mucosal malignant melanoma
Oral mucosal malignant melanoma (OMM) is extremely rare and has a poor prognosis. Owing to its rarity, it has not yet been possible to establish an optimal treatment modality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy of carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) for OMM. Between 1997 and 2013, 19 patients with OMM were treated with C-ion RT alone. Patient ages ranged from 44 t...
متن کاملThe Emerging Role of Carbon-Ion Radiotherapy
Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has progressed rapidly in technological delivery, indications, and efficacy. Owing to a focused dose distribution in addition to high linear energy transfer and subsequently high relative biological effect, CIRT is uniquely able to target otherwise untreatable hypoxic and radioresistant disease while opening the door for substantially hypofractionated treatment of...
