Carbon ion irradiation of the human prostate cancer cell line PC3: A whole genome microarray study
3 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Hadrontherapy is a form of external radiation therapy, which uses beams of charged particles such as carbon ions. Compared to conventional radiotherapy with photons, the main advantage of carbon ion therapy is the precise dose localization along with an increased biological effectiveness. The first results obtained from prostate cancer patients treated with carbon ion therapy showed good local tumor control and...
