Abstract:
In comparison to photon irradiation, particle therapy of cancer performed either with protons or with carbon ions, offers the advantage of their distinct physical characteristics, and through delivery of high linear energy transfer (LET) particles, exploits greater relative biological effectiveness (RBE). There is strong rationale for applying such treatment in patients with intracranial gliomas. In cases of low-grade tumors, the main benefits may be related to potential decrease of long-term mo...     »
