Effects of Carbon Ion Beam on Putative Colon Cancer Stem Cells and Its Comparison with X-rays
31 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Although carbon ion therapy facilities are expensive, the biological effects of carbon ion beam treatment may be better against cancer (and cancer stem cells) than the effects of a photon beam. To investigate whether a carbon ion beam may have a biological advantage over X-rays by targeting cancer stem-like cells, human colon cancer cells were used in vitro and in vivo. The in vitro relative biological...
