Application of a Modified Microdosimetric-Kinetic Model to Analyze Cell Killing in Determination of the Optimal Particle for Light Ion Therapy

Creator:

Butkus, Michael P.

Abstract:

Ion therapy has long been investigated as a potential modality to improve cancer treatments beyond what is currently feasible with photon irradiations. Ions offer both a physical and biological advantage over photons. The physical advantages are well understood, ions deposit their maximum dose at defined penetration depths, allowing for minimal...
