Proton therapy has the potential to provide survival and tumor control outcomes comparable
and frequently superior to photon therapy. This has led to a significant concern in the …

Proton therapy is an expanding radiotherapy modality in the United States and worldwide.
With the number of proton therapy centers treating patients increasing, so does the need for …

Background Out‐of‐field neutron dissemination during double‐scattered proton therapy has
raised concerns of increased second malignancies, disproportionally affecting pediatric …

Radiation therapy (RT) represents an integral component in the treatment of many pediatric
brain tumors. Multiple advances have emerged within pediatric radiation oncology that aim …

Purpose To facilitate the initiation of observational studies on late effects of proton therapy in
pediatric patients, we report on current patterns of proton therapy use worldwide in patients …

Purpose This study aimed to assess the clinical impact of spot size and the addition of
apertures and range compensators on the treatment quality of pencil beam scanning (PBS) …

The lateral fall-off is crucial for sparing organs at risk in proton therapy. It is therefore of high
importance to minimize the penumbra for pencil beam scanning (PBS). Three optimisation …
