The rationale for a carbon ion radiation therapy facility in Australia
Abstract Australia has taken a collaborative nationally networked approach to achieve particle therapy capability. This supports the under‐construction proton therapy facility in Adelaide, other potential proton centres and an under‐evaluation proposal for a hybrid carbon ion and proton centre in we...

| description | Abstract Australia has taken a collaborative nationally networked approach to achieve particle therapy capability. This supports the under‐construction proton therapy facility in Adelaide, other potential proton centres and an under‐evaluation proposal for a hybrid carbon ion and proton centre in western Sydney. A wide‐ranging overview is presented of the rationale for carbon ion radiation therapy, applying observations to the case for an Australian facility and to the clinical and research potential from such a national centre. |
