Introduction: In order to optimize hadrontherapy treatments, it is needed to consider the biological effect on irradiated tumor cells. The biological dose can be evaluated through biophysical models, such as the Microdosimetric Kinetic Model (MKM)[1-5]. This model is implemented to take into account a corrected lineal energy spectrum obtained...

Increasing evidence points towards a causal link between exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) with increased incidence and aggressivity of various cancers. Among these POPs, dioxin and PCB-153 are widely found in our environment and represent a significant source of contamination. Dioxin exposure has already been linked to cancer...
