1 Cancer, Partikel Terapi and PT accelerators Look! Borg get upgrade already! 1 Cancer, Partikel Terapi and PT accelerators Basic requirements to PT accelerator Accelerators for PT Siemens PT maskinen 2

2 Fractionated treatment Why fractionation of the treatment? For a high abrupt dose the healthy tissue is not able to repair the radiation damage (both cancer cells and healthy cells die). Cancer cells are only more sensitive to radiation at small doses (~2 Gy and less) After ~6 hours the healthy tissue have repaired most of the radiation damage. A curative treatment is divided into fractions of ~2 Gy with typically one day between subsequent treatments (5 days per week). 3 Therapeutic window Therapeutic window for curative treatment: Dose: Compromise between cure and toxicity to healthy tissue 4

3 Hardware for photon radiotherapy Proton therapy Bragg peak for protoner Photons ENERGY

5 Dose deposition profiles Linear Energy Transfer Stopping Power 6 2 =36! 10

6 SpreadOutBraggPeak tumor raster scan treatment

7 Raster scanning 13 C therapy Heavy Ion Therapy Advantages (relative to protons): Higher LET -> larger RBE (and lower OER). Monitoring of dose deposition via PET (2 mm accuracy) Better conformity due to less radial straggling Slightly improved dose deposition for SOBP

8 Relative Biological Efficiency γ, p Biologisk effekt af stråling

9 PR 17 Comments about particle cancer therapy deposit dose in tumor but spare surrounding healthy tissue with photons, the maximal dose (determined by the surrounding tissue) is given in many (10 s of) fractions cancer cells are less resistant to radiation than normal cells with (high RBE) particles, few (1?!) fractions are sufficient with particles, additional treatment is possible IMRT redistribuerer dosis til det raske væv, men reducerer ikke integral dosis. Protoner kan halvere integral dosis Reducere risiko for sekundær cancer (BØRN) Potentiale for dosiseskalation C(p)-boost? Hypoxiske tumorer
