Protontherapy Versus Carbon Ion Therapy: Advantages, Disadvantages and Similarit

Description: Protontherapy Versus Carbon Ion Therapy by Marcos d’Ávila Nunes In the second section, the techniques and equipments, including new ones in development such as Cyclinac , Laser and DWA, are described. The fourth section presents models and the fifth section compares both techniques, showing advantages and disadvantages of each, and their similarities. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book presents a comparison analysis of two cancer treatment therapies: carbon ion therapy and protontherapy. It is divided in 5 sections. The first ones gives the reader a brief history of Radiotherapy and types of radiation. In the second section, the techniques and equipments, including new ones in development such as Cyclinac , Laser and DWA, are described. The third section describes biophysical (such as stopping power and LET) and biological (such as RBE and OER) properties, the fundamental experiments and clinical area. The fourth section presents models and the fifth section compares both techniques, showing advantages and disadvantages of each, and their similarities.

Review "As a cancer survivor and an academic physicist, the author clearly expresses his interest in helping other cancer patients by providing useful information, such as that regarding hadron therapy, for alleviating their suffering and pain. Students, residents, and even radiation oncologists, physicists, therapists, and engineers working in radiation therapy may find some of the material interesting and refreshing from this unique perspective."
