It refers to the use of atomic nuclei, stripped of their electrons and thus carrying a positive charge, as a form of radiation therapy. These heavy ions, such as carbon or neon, are accelerated to high energies and directed at cancerous tumors.
The primary advantage of heavy ion radiation therapy lies in its physical and biological properties. Physically,
Biologically, heavy ions are more effective at killing cancer cells, particularly those that are resistant to
Heavy ion therapy is a complex and technologically demanding treatment modality. It requires specialized particle accelerators
