Abstract:
The current and likely future status of low-LET charged-particle therapy of cancer is reviewed with regard to both physical and clinical aspects. We conclude that such therapy has reached the stage at which clinical implementation is practical and that a broader program is needed if the clinical advantages of improved dose distributions are to be determined.

03:23Types of Radioactivity
The most common types of radioactivity are α decay, β decay, γ decay, neutron emission, and electron capture.
Alpha (α) decay is the emission of an α particle from the nucleus. For example, polonium-210 undergoes α decay:

02:57Targeted Cancer Therapies
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
