Treatment 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...

Carbon 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...
