Hela X skin fibroblast
No difference to photons
at the entrance channel
Transformation risk increases
with increasing LET
At doses leading to the same
survival level, the 100 MeV/n
and 11,4 MeV/n beams are
more oncogenic by a factor of
2 and 3, respectively
Results:
Neoplastic transformation by carbon ions
