Comparisonof the Methods of Specifying Doses at NIRS and GSI Carbon Ion
Carbon ions/Carbon-therapy/Biologieal treatment planlRBE. Duc to the RBE variations, the carbon-ion doses (in Gy) are no longer sufficient to moniter adequately the biological effect of these radiations. Therefore, "RBE dose weighting factors" WRBE allowing for the RBE variations with energy, dose and biological system have to be introduced in the treatment plans in order to provide the physici...
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 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...
متن کاملCarbon Ion Radiotherapy for Oligo-Recurrence in the Lung
The clinical results after carbon ion radiotherapy for the metastatic lung tumors believed to be in the state of oligo-recurrence were evaluated. One hundred and sixteen lesions in 91 patients with lung cancer metastasis were treated with carbon ion radiotherapy at our institute from April 1997 to February 2011. Regarding the prescribed dose, total dose ranged between 40 gray equivalents (GyE) ...
