Genomic Instability and Carcinogenesis of Heavy Charged Particles Radiation: Clinical and Environmental Implications

Genomic Instability and Carcinogenesis of Heavy Charged Particles Radiation: Clinical and Environmental Implications

One of the uses of ionizing radiation is in cancer treatment. The use of heavy charged particles for treatment has been introduced in recent decades because of their priority for deposition of radiation energy in the tumor, via the Bragg peak phenomenon. In addition to medical implications, exposure...
