Joint optimization of photon – carbon ion treatments for Glioblastoma

We present a method to simultaneously optimize sequentially delivered intensity modulated photon (IMRT) and carbon ion (CIRT) treatments based on cumulative biological effect, incorporating both the variable RBE of carbon ions and the fractionation effect within the linear quadratic model.
