Multiscale modelling for cancer radiotherapies: from X-rays to ions

Multiscale Modelling for Cancer Radiotherapies: from X-rays to ions

Edited by Andrey Solov'yov (MBN Research Center, Germany) and Eugene Surdutovich (Oakland University, USA)

This series in Cancer Nanotechnology provides a platform for scholars and practitioners in disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, and medical science, to share and exchange their research, knowledge, and insights related to the scientific base of assessment of cell inactivation in the course of radiation therapy of different modalities from x-rays to ions.

New articles will appear in the collection as they are published!

1. Content Type:Review

   The role of shock waves on the biodamage induced by ion beam radiation

   Energetic ions irradiate the human body in different situations such as exposure to galactic cosmic rays and ion beam cancer therapy. Ions propagating through dense medium deposit energy on the nanometre scale...

2. Content Type:Research

   Phenomenon-based evaluation of relative biological effectiveness of ion beams by means of the multiscale approach

   Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is a key quantity for the description of radiobiological effects induced by charged-particle irradiation in the context of ion-beam cancer therapy. Since RBE is a comple...
