Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment planning for heavy-ion radiotherapy: physical beam model and dose optimization.
TL;DR: A novel code system, TRiP, dedicated to the planning of radiotherapy with energetic ions, in particular 12C, designed to cooperate with three-dimensional active dose shaping devices like the GSI raster scan system is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon ion radiotherapy in Japan: an assessment of 20 years of clinical experience.
Tadashi Kamada,Hirohiko Tsujii,Eleanor A. Blakely,Jürgen Debus,Wilfried De Neve,Marco Durante,Oliver Jäkel,Ramona Mayer,Roberto Orecchia,Richard Pötter,S. Vatnitsky,William T. Chu +11 more
TL;DR: A panel of radiation oncologists, radiobiologists, and medical physicists from the USA and Europe recently completed peer review of the carbon ion therapy at NIRS, and promising data were obtained for other tumours, such as locally recurrent rectal cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of carbon ion radiotherapy in the treatment of skull-base chordomas
Daniela Schulz-Ertner,Christian P. Karger,Alexandra Feuerhake,Anna Nikoghosyan,Stephanie E. Combs,Oliver Jäkel,Lutz Edler,Michael Scholz,Jürgen Debus +8 more
TL;DR: Carbon ion RT offers an effective treatment option for skull-base chordomas with acceptable toxicity and Doses in excess of 75 CGE with 2 CGE per fraction are likely to increase local control probability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Results of carbon ion radiotherapy in 152 patients
Daniela Schulz-Ertner,Anna Nikoghosyan,Christoph Thilmann,Thomas Haberer,Oliver Jäkel,Christian P. Karger,Gerhard Kraft,Michael Wannenmacher,Jürgen Debus,Jürgen Debus +9 more
TL;DR: Carbon ion therapy is safe with respect to toxicity and offers high local control rates for skull base tumors such as chordomas, low-grade chondrosarcomas, and unfavorable adenoid cystic carcinomas.
Journal ArticleDOI
The heidelberg ion therapy center
TL;DR: The ion beam therapy facility presently under construction at the Department of Clinical Radiology, University of Heidelberg, Germany, will be the first dedicated and hospital-based irradiation facility for protons and heavier ions in Europe.
