The Use of Proton and Carbon Ion Radiation Therapy for Sarcomas
SEMINARS IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY(2024)
Abstract
The unique physical and biological characteristics of proton and carbon ions allow for improved sparing of normal tissues, decreased integral dose to the body, and increased biological effect through high linear energy transfer. These properties are particularly useful for sarcomas given their histology, wide array of locations, and age of diagnosis. This review summarizes the literature and describes the clinical situations in which these heavy particles have advantages for treating sarcomas.
