Proton and helium ion radiotherapy for meningioma tumors: a Monte Carlo-based treatment planning comparison

BACKGROUND: Due to their favorable physical and biological properties, helium ion beams are increasingly considered a promising alternative to proton beams for radiation therapy. Hence, this work aims at comparing in-silico the treatment of brain and ocular meningiomas with protons and helium ions,...
