Carbon ion therapy for ameloblastic carcinoma
Ameloblastic carcinomas are rare odontogenic tumors. Treatment usually consists of surgical resection and sometimes adjuvant radiation. We report the case of a 71 year-old male patient undergoing carbon ion therapy for extensive local relapse of ameloblastic carcinoma. Treatment outcome was favourable with a complete remission at 6 weeks post completion of radiotherapy while RT-treatment itself...
متن کاملWorst case optimization for interfractional motion mitigation in carbon ion therapy of pancreatic cancer
INTRODUCTION The efficacy of radiation therapy treatments for pancreatic cancer is compromised by abdominal motion which limits the spatial accuracy for dose delivery - especially for particles. In this work we investigate the potential of worst case optimization for interfractional offline motion mitigation in carbon ion treatments of pancreatic cancer. METHODS We implement a worst case opti...
متن کاملDesign of bi-material bolus for carbon ion therapy using dose optimization method
Material and Methods: The biomaterial bolus consists of Cycowood and brass. Since the probability of nuclear fragmentation is different between low-Z and high-Z materials with the same water equivalent length, the shape of Bragg curves depends on the material through which carbon ions pass. Then we have developed an accurate dose calculation model taking into account the effect by using an inte...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Biological Dose Optimization in Ion Beam Radiotherapy
From 1997 until 2008 about 440 cancer patients were successfully treated in the ion therapy project at GSI. The patient treatment planning was performed with the software TRiP [1, 2]. A crucial part of the treatment planning is the particle number optimization with the goal to achieve a target dose distribution as close as possible to the prescribed biological dose distribution. The optimizatio...
متن کاملCarbon ion therapy to debut in Europe.
fter 14 years of construction, the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle accelerator, fired its first beam of protons in September from its home at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva. Now a spinoff technology for treating cancer is also nearing its European debut. The first European center to offer carbon ion therapy — a type of radiation treatment t...
