Heavy Particle Radiotherapy covers the significant advances in the application of radiotherapy to cancer treatment. This book is composed of eight chapters that focus on the performance of several heavy particles. The introductory chapters describe the radiobiological phenomena of interest in radiotherapy and their modifications with increasing linear energy transfer. The remaining chapters discuss the physical aspects, cellular effects, and radiotherapy potential of heavy particles, including neutrons, protons, helium and heavy ions, and negative pions.

The current status of particle radiotherapy from a historical perspective is presented. This is done with a personal view and contains personal references and memories during the development of particle radiotherapy. The particles covered are fast neutrons, neutron capture therapy, protons, helium ions, pions and heavy ions. International cooperation in the development of the field of particle therapy, its impact on radiobiology and conventional radiotherapy, and some personal reflections and conclusions are also presented briefly.

Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, often abbreviated RT, RTx, or XRT, is therapy using ionizing radiation, generally as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator. Radiation therapy may. Radiation therapy may be curative in a number of types of cancer if they are localized to one area of the body.
