HADROTHERAPY: RBE

PROTONS:

Between 0,9 y 1,3 (average: 1,1)

“plateau”: 0,9-1

“Bragg peak”: 1,2-1,3

CARBON IONS:

Between 2 and 3

An increase of apoptosis induction, mainly at Bragg peak level, has been shown, for protons and ions.

HADRONTHERAPY: CARBON IONS

- Reduction in the OER.- Lesser influence of repair phenomena.- Reduction of the differences in RS related to

cell cycle position.

HADRONTHERAPY: CARBON IONS

Malignant tumors:

-Well differenciated-Slowly growing-Hypoxic (RR)-Slowly cell cycle redistribution-repair-proficient tumors

HADRONTHERAPY: IMAGE

Only possible if modern image techniques are available

HADRONTHERAPY: CONFORMALITY

Ling et al. IJROBP, 47: 551 (2000)

HADRONTHERAPY POTENTIALS: -High conformal dose distribution-Higher target dose -Steepest dose gradients between PTVs and PRVs-Reduction of patient integral dose-Increase RBE (ions)

AIMS: -Tumor dose intensification (Increase of tumor control)-Low doses to the ORs and non involved tissue (less toxicity) -Higher survival rates-Better outcome in patients with RR-tumors (ions)-Reduction of RT-fractions (less treatment days)

Category B :

- Low Radiosensitivity



Tumours belonging to category B :

- Prostatic adenocarcinoma- Retroperitoneal sarcoma- Salivary gland tumours- Uterine cervix cancer (IIB bulky or IIIB)- Undiff. tumours of the thyroid gland



Category C :

-Protons as “boost” in a restricted volume

Tumours belonging to category C :

- Head and neck cancer- Low grade glioma- Malignant thymoma- Biliary tract tumours- Some lung tumours (NSCLC)- Oesophagus tumours- Some pediatric tumours (CNS, sarcoma)



Category D :

-Tu. with locally advanced conditions and unfavourable prognosis

Tumors belonging to category D :

- Pancreas cancer- High grade glioma- Paraaortic metastatic adenopathies- Pelvic recurrences in previously treated areas- Rhinopharingeal recurrences in previously irradiated areas- isolated brain metastasis

HADRONTHERAPY: PROTONS SOME CONCLUSIONS

-Advantages due mainly to excellent dose distribution.

-Main indications in recognized tumor types and locations (> 10%).

-Need to have at least one protonterapy center in Spain: Valencia

-Need to perform fase II y III trials comparing protons with photons.

-Further increase of protontherapy facilities to cover the spanish needs.
