Abstract
EMT6 tumors were exposed to neon ions in vivo and in vitro in the plateau and spread-out Bragg peak regions of the beam. The RBE in vivo was 1.7-2.1 in the plateau region and 2.6-2.9 in the Bragg peak; the OER was 2.0 and 1.4, respectively. Neon ions have great potential in the radiotherapy of tumors because of their decreased OER and excellent depth-dose distribution in tissue.Entities:
