Exploration of the Possibility of High LET Radiation for Non-Conventional Radiotherapy in Cancer. Final Report of a CO-Ordinated Research Programme Sponsored by the IAEA 1981-1985

摘要

The report summarizes the results of the researches performed by scientists from six Member States under an Agency-sponsored co-ordinated research programme (CRP) on exploration of the possibility of high linear energy transfer (LET) radiation for non-conventional radiotherapy in cancer. The projects within the CRP were focused on radiobiological and clinical aspects of neutron beam (3 reports) and neutron capture (2 reports), heavy ion beam (2 reports) and proton (1 report) therapy. A summary report is included. A separate abstract was prepared for each of these reports. (ERA citation 12:029355)
