1. Hadron Therapy Proposal Tata Memorial Centre Parel, Mumbai July 2012

2. Radiation Therapy Photons – Diagnostic X-rays - 20 to 150 kV – Superficial X-rays - 50 to 200 kV – Orthovoltage X-rays -200 to 500 kV – Supervoltage X-rays - 500 to 1000 kV – Megavoltage X-rays - 1 to 25 MV Electrons Hadron – Proton - 60-300 MeV – Neutron (Fast Neutron) - >50 Mev – Heavy Ions (Carbon, Neon, Oxygen, Helium) – 50-430 MeV

5. Historical image showing Gordon Isaacs, the first patient treated with linear accelerator radiation therapy (in this case an electron beam) for retinoblastoma in 1957. Gordon's right eye was removed January 11, 1957 because the cancer had spread. His left eye, however, had only a localized tumor that prompted Henry Kaplanto try to treat it with the electron beam Radiation therapy of the pelvis Lasers and a mould under the legs are used to determine exact position Neutron Therapy: Comparison of Low LET electrons and High LET electrons Patient treating room for neutron radiation therapy

6. Advantages: Superior Dose Localization: Heavy ion therapy can severely damage the tumor while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Heavy ion therapy has less toxicity (adverse effects) than conventional radiotherapy. Effective Against Cancers which are Resistant to Conventional Radiation: Heavy ion beams have stronger biological effects than X-ray. For example, heavy ion therapy is more effective against tumors such as osteosarcoma, which are difficult to cure with conventional X-ray radiotherapy. Short Treatment Time: The treatment time for heavy-ion radiotherapy is relatively short (3 weeks on average). Compared to conventional X-ray radiotherapy, which requires 6-7 weeks, the treatment time can be reduced dramatically.
