Rectal dose-sparing effect with bioabsorbable spacer placement in carbon ion radiotherapy for sacral chordoma: dosimetric comparison of a simulation study

It is difficult to treat patients with an inoperable sarcoma adjacent to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract using carbon ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT), owing to the possible development of serious GI toxicities. In such cases, spacer placement may be useful in physically separating the tumor and the GI t...
