Radiation therapy (RT) plays a key role in curative-intent treatments for head and neck
cancers. Its use is indicated as a sole therapy in early stage tumors or in combination with …

Radiation therapy plays an integral role in the management of head and neck cancers
(HNCs). While most HNC patients have historically been treated with photon-based …

Background Owing to its physical properties, intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT)
used for patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma has the ability to reduce the dose to organs …

Radiation is a significant treatment for patients with head and neck cancer. Despite
advances to improve treatment, many tumors acquire radiation resistance resulting in poor …

Use of proton beam therapy has expanded, with the number of proton centres rapidly
increasing not only in the USA but also worldwide. The physical characteristics of the proton …

In the past 100 years, external beam energy for the treatment of cancer has continually
evolved. Two main modes have been developed. The first is radiotherapy which involves …

Precision radiotherapy, which accurately delivers the dose on a tumor and confers little or no
irradiation to the surrounding normal tissue and organs, results in maximum tumor control …

Objective To externally validate head and neck cancer (HNC) photon-derived normal tissue
complication probability (NTCP) models in patients treated with proton beam therapy (PBT) …

Because of its sharp lateral penumbra and steep distal fall-off, proton therapy offers
dosimetric advantages over photon therapy. In head and neck cancer, proton therapy has …

Simple Summary Proton therapy is a promising type of radiation therapy used to destroy
tumor cells. It has the potential to further improve the outcomes for patients with head and …
