PTCOG 48; Meeting of the Particle Therapy Co-Operative Group
Background: Charged particle cancer therapy exploits the beneficial physical and biological properties of ions for a highly tumour conform irradiation. A major hindrance for a widespread use of this radiotherapy modality is the uncertainty in the biological effectiveness of the ions. The Local Effect[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
