Abstract

This feasibility study confirmed the initial safety and efficacy of a novel carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) using linear energy transfer (LET) painting for head and neck cancer. This study is the first step toward establishing CIRT with LET painting in clinical practice and making it a standard practice in the future.
