This paper aims to review on fetal dose in radiotherapy and extends and updates on a
previous work 1 to include proton therapy. Out-of-field doses, which are the doses received …

This review focuses on reference dosimetry of proton and light ion beams used for cancer
treatments. The background is the recommendation from the International Atomic Energy …

Purpose This paper covers recent developments and applications of the TOPAS TOol for
PArticle Simulation and presents the approaches used to disseminate TOPAS. Materials and …

Proton therapy enables to deliver highly conformed dose distributions owing to the
characteristic Bragg peak and the finite range of protons. However, during proton therapy …

Generally, intentional exposure of pregnant women is avoided as far as possible in both
medical and occupational situations. This paper aims to summarise available information on …

The advantages of proton and light ion beam therapy compared to conventional photon
radiation therapy are well-known, mainly thanks to the characteristic depth dose distribution …

During pregnancy, the use of radiation therapy for cancer treatment is often considered
impossible due to the assumed associated fetal risks. However, suboptimal treatment of …

Background In radiotherapy, especially when treating children, minimising exposure of
healthy tissue can prevent the development of adverse outcomes, including second cancers …

Radiotherapy of pregnant cancer patients is not common, but when applied accurate
assessment of the fetus dose is required, especially since the treatment planning systems …

Objective. The purpose of this study is to estimate the energy and angular distribution of
secondary neutrons inside a phantom in hadron therapy, which will support decisions on …
