SURGERY CHEMOTHERAPY RADIOTHERAPY
The use of charged particle to treat cancer is increasing worldwide:
79 centers in operation, 45 in construction, 22 planned

Hadron therapy has superior physical proprieties than conventional radiotherapy
3Mayo Clinic, United States of America (https://www.mayoclinic.org)
X-rays of conventional radiotherapy irradiate organs both in front of and behind the tumor
on the other hand, charged particle energy deposition can be better controlled
this allows a reduction of the doses to the surrounding organs lower risk of secondary cancers

the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is a parameter
indicating the effectiveness of a radiation in inducing a
determined effect in comparison to a reference radiation

Charged particles are more effective in inducing lethal damages
5
RBE is a complex function of particle type, its energy,
cell line, biological endpoint… currently, in proton therapy a constant RBE value of 1.1
in respect to photons is used
figures from Sorensen et al., 2011 and IAEA, 2008
© SCKCEN, 2018
Increased RBE at the distal part of treatment
6
recent evidences have proven the inadequacy
of using a constant factor, especially in the
distal edge region
this effect is due to the increased proton LET
and the creation of high LET secondary
fragments
increased risks of secondary tumors

A novel method has been developed
to assess LET and RBE in proton therapy beams
using couples of thermoluminescent detectors

Methodology
7
The response of two different types of detectors was predicted as function of the proton energy
LiF:Mg,Ti and LiF:Mg,Cu,P thermoluminescent detectors
Microdosimetric d(z) Model (Parisi, 2018) – key ideas and experimental validation
The relative response of the two detectors was correlated with the proton RBE
Correlation between the expected response and the proton dose average LETD
Database of experimentally determined RBE values as function of the LETD (Paganetti, 2014)
Validation of the methodology through a comparison with cell survival studies in a clinical SOBP

The luminescence phenomenon is explained as transition between a
ground state (valence band) and a excited state (condition band)
The radiation induced luminescent signal depends strongly on the
microscopic structure of the detector
different materials different trapping centers different luminescent
signal

Key ideas
the detector is supposed being composed by many independent
structures called targets which act as sensitive volumes for
measuring radiation
microdosimetric specific energy probability distributions are used
to quantify changes in the pattern of energy deposition
Efficiency evaluated for a lot of particle-energy combinations

The Microdosimetric d(z) Model is a very powerful tool
very good agreement with experimental data for charged particles and photons
possibility of predicting detector efficiency for other type of radiation (exotic particles, antimatter…) and mixed fields
A new methodology has been proposed to correlate the relative light emission of two different crystals
with the radiation induced cell death
based on the Microdosimetric d(z) Model
LET and RBE in proton therapy beams using pairs of differently doped thermoluminescent detectors
very good agreement with and in vitro cell survival studies
