Starting in 1972, the scientists at Berkeley also were the first to use heavier ions (carbon, oxygen, neon, silicon and argon ions). The first clinical ion beam facility opened in 1994 in Japan and since then, the interest in radiotherapy with light ion beams has been increasing slowly but steadily, with 13 centers in clinical operation in 2019. All these centers are using carbon ions for clinical application.The article outlines the differences in physical properties of various light ions as compared to protons in view of the application in radiotherapy. These include the energy loss and depth dose properties, multiple scattering, range straggling and nuclear fragmentation. In addition, the paper discusses differences arising from energy loss and linear energy transfer with respect to their biological effects.Moreover, the paper reviews briefly the existing clinical data comparing protons and ions and outlines the future perspectives for the clinical use of ions like oxygen and helium. 000147231 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-315$$a315 - Imaging and radiooncology (POF3-315)$$cPOF3-315$$fPOF III$$x0 000147231 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, 000147231 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1468548-6$$a10.1259/bjr.20190428$$gp. 20190428 -$$n1107$$p20190428 -$$tThe British journal of radiology$$v93$$x1748-880X$$y2020 000147231 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:147231$$pVDB 000147231 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)440a3f62ea9ea5c63375308976fc4c44$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b0$$kDKFZ 000147231 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-315$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vImaging and radiooncology$$x0 000147231 9141_ $$y2020 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bBRIT J RADIOL : 2017 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0320$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bPubMed Central 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences 000147231 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000147231 9202_ $$0I:(DE-He78)E040-20160331$$kE040$$lE040 Med.
