Abstract

Background: Locally recurrent rectal cancer remains a dreaded event because curative resection is unlikely to be performed in a large number of cases. Carbon ion radiotherapy offers physical and biologic advantages. A high precise local dose deposition and sparing of normal tissue is possible. This work summarizes our experience on feasibility and early toxicity of carbon ion radiotherapy in previously irradiated and operated patients.
