RBE=Radiobiological Effectiveness In a cell a carbon ion leaves 23 times more energy than a proton The ‘quality’ of the deposited energy is different Carbon ions are effective on “radio-resistant” tumours
Number of potential patients Therapy with X-rays (5 – 20 MeV) 20'000 patients/year in 10 million inhabitants Protontherapy Category A: 1% of X-ray patients = 200 patients/year in 10 M Category B: 10% of X-ray patients = 2'000 patients/year in 10 M Therapy with carbon ions of radioresistant tumours 10% of X-ray patients = 2'000 patients/year in 10 M
