Possibility of increasing linear energy transfer in multi‐ion radiotherapy for bone and soft tissue sarcomas
The LET<sub>d</sub> was successfully increased with the oxygen+carbon and neon+carbon ions, while meeting the dose requirements. The multi-ion therapy plans created using the method presented in this study were robust to setup and range errors.
