Novel treatment setup for urethral carcinoma radiotherapy: A complete response case report.

A homemade personalized penis holder can provide the reproducibility of the penis during urethra carcinoma (UC) radiotherapy.

Monte Carlo assessment of beam deflection and depth dose equivalent variation of a carbon-ion beam in a perpendicular magnetic field.

Purpose: To evaluate beam deflection and dose equivalent perturbation of carbon-ion (C-ion) versus depth in a perpendicular magnetic field with the motivation of application to potential future development of MRI-guided carbon therapy.

Methods: A therapeutic beamline, a rectangular water phantom (homogeneous) and a multi-layer tissue phantom were simulated by applying the FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation code. The C-ion beam deflection variation against depth inside the water phantom at 100, 220 and 310 MeV/nucleon (MeV/n) was calculated in the presence of 0.
