Proton and Carbon Ion Therapy is an up-to-date guide to using
proton and carbon ion therapy in modern cancer treatment. The book
covers the physics and radiobiology basics of proton and ion beams,
dosimetry methods and radiation measurements, and treatment
delivery systems. It gives practical guidance on patient setup,
target localization, and treatment planning for clinical proton and
carbon ion therapy. The text also offers detailed reports on the
treatment of pediatric cancers, lymphomas, and various other
cancers. After an overview, the book focuses on the fundamental
aspects of proton and carbon ion therapy equipment, including
accelerators, gantries, and delivery systems. It then discusses
dosimetry, biology, imaging, and treatment planning basics and
provides clinical guidelines on the use of proton and carbon ion
therapy for the treatment of specific cancers. Suitable for anyone
involved with medical physics and radiation therapy, this book
offers a balanced and critical assessment of state-of-the-art
technologies, major challenges, and the future outlook of proton
and carbon ion therapy. It presents a thorough introduction for
those new to the field while providing a helpful, up-to-date
reference for readers already using the therapy in clinical
settings.
