Carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has been applied in cancer treatment for over 25 years. However, guidelines for dose–volume constraints have not been established yet. The aim of this review is to summarize the dose–volume constraints in CIRT for head‐and‐neck (HN) cancer that were determined through previous clinical studies based on the Japanese models for relative biological effectiveness (RBE).
