Abstract PURPOSE:The purpose is to verify experimentally whether application of magnetic fields longitudinal and perpendicular to a proton beam alters the biological effectiveness of the radiation.
METHODS AND MATERIALS:Proton beams with linear energy transfer of 1.1 and 3.3 keV/μm irradiated human cancer and normal cells under a longitudinal (perpendicular) magnetic field of BL (BP) = 0, 0.3, or 0.6 T. Cell survival curves were constructed to evaluate the effects of the magnetic fields on the biological effectiveness. The ratio of dose that would result in a survival fraction of 10% without the magnetic field Dwo to the dose with the magnetic field Dw, R10 = Dwo/Dw, was determined for each cell line and magnetic field.
RESULTS:For cancer cells exposed to the 1.1- (3.3-) keV/μm proton beams, R10s were increased to 1.10 ± 0.07 (1.11 ± 0.07) and 1.11 ± 0.07 (1.12 ± 0.07) by the longitudinal magnetic fields of BL = 0.3 and 0.6 T, respectively. For normal cells, R10s were increased to 1.13 ± 0.06 (1.17 ± 0.06) and 1.17 ± 0.06 (1.30 ± 0.06) by the BLs. In contrast, R10s were not changed significantly from 1 by the perpendicular magnetic fields of BP = 0.3 and 0.6 T for both cancer and normal cells exposed to 1.1- and 3.3-keV/μm proton beams.
CONCLUSIONS:The biological effectiveness of proton beams was significantly enhanced by longitudinal magnetic fields of BL = 0.3 and 0.6 T, whereas the biological effectiveness was not altered by perpendicular magnetic fields of the same strengths. This enhancement effect should be taken into account in magnetic resonance imaging guided proton therapy with a longitudinal magnetic field.
