Abstract

Radiation therapy for prostate cancer has been established as a curative treatment option with improving radiation technique such as X-ray intensity modulated radiation therapy. Proton therapy has been started as the boost of X-ray irradiation and later used as the mono-therapy for the dose escalation because of its conformal dose distribution. Heavy ion therapy has superior dose distribution and biological effect, and has been trying in hypo-fractionated schedule. It is reported that good local control and low possibility of adverse event with both proton and heavy ion therapy.
