V prispevku je prikazan klinični primer bolnika z inoperabilnim recidivom karcinoma danke, ki je bil zdravljen z visokodoznim obsevanjem z ogljikovimi ioni v protonskem centru v tujini. Obsevanja s protoni ali težkimi ioni v Sloveniji zaenkrat še ne moremo zagotoviti, zato moramo vse bolnike za katere presodimo, da bi imeli od tovrstnega zdravljenja korist, napotiti na zdravljenje v enega od protonskih centrov v tujini. V primerjavi z obsevanjem s fotoni, lahko zaradi specifičnih fizikalnih lastnosti protonskih delcev in težkih ionov, pri obsevanju z njimi bistveno zmanjšamo volumne v obsevalna polja zajetih zdravih tkiv, v določenih kliničnih situacijah pa tumorje tudi obsevamo z višjimi dozami. The article presents a clinical case of a patient with inoperable rectal carcinoma relapse who was treated with high-dose carbon ion irradiation at a proton center abroad. Irradiation with protons or heavy ions cannot be guaranteed in Slovenia for the time being, so we must refer all patients who we judge would benefit from this type of treatment to one of the proton centers abroad. Compared to irradiation with photons, due to the specific physical properties of proton particles and heavy ions, when irradiating with them, we can significantly reduce the volumes in the radiation fields of covered healthy tissues, and in certain clinical situations tumors can also be irradiated with higher doses.
