Ion therapy history• 1946: Robert Wilson (Harvard) proposed use of
protons in treating tumors
• 1954: first patient treated with protons at Berkeley
• 1990: first dedicated proton center - Loma Linda University (south CA)
• 1994: first ion center - Chiba, Japan
• 1997: second ion center - GSI Darmstadt, Germany
• 2004: 23 protons centers and 3 ion centers in operation worldwide

Intro• γ rays are easy to obtain from radioactive
sources such as 60Co; electrons can be produced to MeV by inexpensive linear accelerators
• disadvantages: they deposit energy close to surface
• Charged particles deposit large energy near the end of their trajectories (Braag peak)
• heavy ions are even superior to protons in treating deep-seated, well-localized tumors, due to ionization increasing with z2

Carbon advantages• Carbon’s radiation damage is repairable to a
large extent in the entrance channel of the beam, and becomes irreparable only at the end of the beam's range in the tumor itself.
• lighter particles such as protons cause fewer double-strand breaks in DNA than heavier ones like carbon.
• Carbon ions do not scatter as much as lighter particles.
• Heavier ions, such as 10Ne, tend to fragment. Carbon does fragment too but its fragmentation products can be detected by PET. source: “GSI treats cancer tumors with
carbon ions”CERN Courier, vol 38, no 9

• part of 12C ions fragment into lighter 11C and 10C ions. these ions emit positrons.
• PET = e+ + e- --> 2γ
• PET allows “live” beam monitoring

protons vs. photons
•protons cause less damage on entrance (low plateau)
•deposit more energy on deep-seated target (Bragg peak)

carbon ions are suited to destroy both strands. heavier ions can
cause too much irreparable damage to surrouding tissues

Summary•dE/dx profiles of charged particles make
possible to design precise particle beams to treat tumors.
•heavy ions are suitable and effective for well localized tumors.
•Carbon ions open up treatment possibilities of difficult tumors, and complement proton therapy.
•Protons, however, will remain important for many kinds of cancer as well as for treatment of benign (non-cancerous) tumors.
