10 The basic principles of hadrontherapy Protons 200 MeV 1nA 27 cm Tumour targett Carbon ions 4800 MeV 0.1 na Beam of hadrons which slow down in matter Bragg peak Better conformity of the dose to the target t healthy tissue sparing Hadrons are charged Beam scanning for dose distribution Heavy ions Higher biological effectiveness Rome SB - 5/5 10
11 Energy and current Why 200 MeV protons and 400 MeV/u C ions? Range in water: 200 MeV p 27 cm penetration depth 4800 MeV C ions 27 cm penetration depth Why 1 na current? Requirement: 2 Gy per Kg per minute (2 J / 200 MeV) x (e) x (1/60 sec) 1 na Rome SB - 5/5 11

36 A ganrty for proton therapy Rome SB - 5/5 36
37 A research topic: proton radiography CT gives information on the density of electrons (Hounsfield numbers) CT is commonly used in diagnostics CT is commonly used in conventional radiation therapy to calculate the treatment planning X and MeV gamma rays interact with the electrons CT is used also in proton and ion therapy to calculate the treatment planning but Protons and ions interact with matter through de/dxdx -> density ρ, Z Compton effect is proportional to Z but not the photoelectric effect! Corrections are applied Rome SB - 5/5 37
38 Proton radiography and proton CT Radiography with X-rays Counts the number of photons (attenuation coefficient) Proton radiography Protons with enough energy to penetrate the body Residual range mesurement Rome SB - 5/5 38
39 Proton radiography Scintillating fibers Advantages No need for corrections like for X-ray CT Less dose to the patient (every proton brings information!) Disadvantages E. Pedroni et al., PSI Need of large accelerators usually used also for therapy (timing problem) For now it is a research issue (PSI) Rome SB - 5/5 39

47 Hadrontherapy with fast neutrons Berkeley, 1938 Neutrons are neutral no Bragg peak MeV neutrons are produced with cyclotrons (p + Be reaction) MeV neutrons produce nuclear interactions high LET radiation Used for radio resistant tumours (ex. salivary glands, tongue, brain) About 9 centers in the world [ex. Orleans (France), Fermilab (USA)] Rome SB - 5/5 47
48 Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) Concept proposed in 1936 by G.L. Locher (only 4 years after the discovery of the neutron!) Bring into cancer cells a nuclide that captures neutrons and disintegrates into high LET fragments 10 B is used Available (20% of natural B) Fragments of high LET and path lengths approximately one cell diameter (about 12 microns) Well known chemistry Rome SB - 5/5 48
49 BNCT facilities Nuclear reactors or accelarators are used as sources of epithermal neutrons Many centers in the world, mostly for clinical trials Limitation Difficult to achieve selective localization in the tumour! Rome SB - 5/5 49
