Proton-microwave therapy

摘要

The new method of tumor therapy is proposed: joining up of proton (photon) and microwave methods. The combined tumor therapy gives the possibility of simultaneous influence on the albumen molecules (tissue cells) in vivo of RF/Microwave and proton (photon) radiation. Such an influence must be made not only synchronous but coherent as well. In this case the effectiveness will depend on the relative phase between the proton bunches sequence or photons, radiated tissue and radio frequency oscillations, with the help of which this bunches were formed and accelerated in accelerator. The proposed combined proton + RF/Microwave therapy method gives the possibility of simultaneously (with proton or photon) and coherent influence on the tissue cells, in the wide microwave range, included mm-range. It may be provided by multiplication of the accelerating field frequency by n. It is necessary to mention, that the additional MW therapy is able to decrease the proton (photon) radiation dose for patients, because of appeared explored due to MW action (already without proton or photon radiation), i.e. it possible to obtain the more spare therapy method. The Linac of YerPhI synchrotron at energy 75MeV, in which it was proposed to establish the proton linear accelerator, at 12MeV is the likely accelerator for carryint out this method of tumor therapy.
