Nanoscale insights on hypoxia radiosensitization with ion beams

Tumors with a nonuniform oxygen distribution show also an inhomogeneous radiosensitivity. In particular, the hypoxic regions results to be more radioresistant, limiting the efficacy of radiotherapy. It has been observed that high linear energy transfer, LET, radiation can counteract this effect to a...
