Relative clinical effectiveness of carbon ion radiotherapy: theoretical modelling for H&N tumours
Comparison of the efficiency of photon and carbon ion radiotherapy (RT) administered with the same number of fractions might be of limited clinical interest, since a wide range of fractionation patterns are used clinically today. Due to advanced photon treatment techniques, hypofractionation is becoming increasingly accepted for prostate and lung tumours, whereas patients with head and neck tum...
متن کاملClinical advantages of carbon-ion radiotherapy
Carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) possesses physical and biological advantages. It was started at NIRS in 1994 using the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC); since then more than 50 protocol studies have been conducted on almost 4000 patients with a variety of tumors. Clinical experiences have demonstrated that C-ion RT is effective in such regions as the head and neck, skull base, ...
متن کاملRadiotherapy techniques for intracranial tumours
ABSTRACTIntracranial tumours often require radiotherapeutic approaches that differ from other sites. Their specific requirements merit a specialized discussion. A brief review of radiotherapy techniques to treat intracranial tumours is presented with emphasis on the author’s own experience and work, where appropriate. A clinical introduction is presented first followed by a description of bot...
متن کاملCarbon-ion radiotherapy—basic and clinical studies
Radiotherapy using charged and/or high-LET particles has a long history, starting with proton beams. In vitro data clarify that RBE (Relative Biological Effectiveness) increases with LET up to approximately 150 keV/μm for carbon-12 and neon-20 ions. In vivo studies show that tumor control probabilities after single doses of gamma rays shift to higher doses when tumors were irradiated with 5-fra...
متن کاملClinical trial of carbon ion radiotherapy for gynecological melanoma
Carbon ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) is an advanced modality for treating malignant melanoma. After we treated our first case of gynecological melanoma using C-ion RT in November 2004, we decided to conduct a clinical trial to evaluate its usefulness for the treatment of gynecological melanoma. The eligibility criteria for enrollment in this study were histologically proven malignant melanoma of ...
