Popis: This work focuses on the study of remote effects (duration of remission, recurrence rate, and average lifespan) in mice with Ehrlich ascites carcinoma exposed to oligofractionated irradiation with a pencil scanning beam of protons depending on the volume of the tissue being irradiated and the interval between dose fractions. The results show higher antitumor efficacy and a considerable increase in the average life span of mice after hypofractionated irradiation with a pencil scanning beam of protons at a total dose of 60 Gy of the gross tumor volume compared with the planning target volume.
