Particle therapy, a clinical point of view.
With the advent of the 3-D treatment planning system and new imaging modalities, particle therapy will open a new era of cancer treatment using ionizing radiation.
A better spatial dose distribution and/or high biological effec ts, are the main properties of particle therapy. Too achieve a good clinical outcome using these properties, we shoud establish a high precision treatment system designed especially for particle therapy. A brief summary of treatment results of particle therapy and its indications were also described.
