carbon ion therapy

Carbon Ion Therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses highly charged carbon ions to target and destroy cancer cells. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, which uses X-rays, carbon ions can deliver more energy directly to the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. This precision allows for effective treatment, especially for hard-to-reach or resistant tumors. Patients typically undergo this therapy in specialized facilities, and it may be part of a broader cancer treatment plan tailored by their healthcare team. Carbon Ion Therapy is gaining interest for its potential to enhance treatment outcomes with fewer side effects.
