The ‘stealth-bomber’ paradigm for deciphering the tumour response to carbon-ion irradiation
13 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies have demonstrated the higher biological efficacy of carbon-ion irradiation (C-ions) and their ballistic precision compared with photons. At the nanometre scale, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by radiation and responsible for the indirect effects are differentially distributed according to the type of radiation. Photon irradiation induces a homogeneous ROS distribution, whereas ROS...
