The biological effects induced by high-charged and energy particles and its application in cancer therapy
The radiobiological effects of high atomic number and energy (HZE particles) ion beams are of interest for radioprotection in space and tumor radiotherapy. Space radiation mainly consists of heavy charged particles from protons to iron ions, which is distinct from common terrestrial forms of radiation. HZE particles pose a significant cancer risk to astronauts on prolonged space missions. With ...
متن کاملBasics 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 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...
