Helium ion beam therapy for the treatment of cancer was one of several developed and
studied particle treatments in the 1950s, leading to clinical trials beginning in 1975 at the …

The use of hadron beams, especially proton beams, in cancer radiotherapy has expanded
rapidly in the past two decades. To fully realize the advantages of hadron therapy over …

Featured Application Radiation therapy treatment planning. Abstract Radiation therapy (RT)
