Proton beam therapy, the most common form of heavy-particle radiation therapy, is not a
new invention, but it has gained considerable public attention because of the high cost of …

Radiation dose escalation has been shown to improve local control and survival in patients
with non–small cell lung cancer in some studies, but randomized data have not supported …

Proton beam therapy (PBT) has been increasingly used in a variety of cancers due to its
excellent physical properties and superior dosimetric parameters. PBT may improve patient …

Background To evaluate acute toxicity endpoints in a cohort of patients receiving head and
neck radiation with proton therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Methods …

Quantitative imaging (ie, providing not just an image but also the related data) guidance in
proton radiation therapy to achieve and monitor the precision of planned radiation energy …

The number of proton therapy facilities and the clinical usage of high energy proton beams
for cancer treatment has substantially increased over the last decade. This is mainly due to …

FLASH irradiations use dose-rates orders of magnitude higher than commonly used in
patient treatments. Such irradiations have shown interesting normal tissue sparing in cell …

Background: Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is the standard radiation therapy treatment for
medulloblastoma. Conventional CSI photon therapy (Photon-CSI) delivers significant dose …

Purpose Proton beam therapy (PBT) potentially allows for improved sparing of normal
tissues, hopefully leading to decreased late side effects in children. Using a national registry …

This review on proton beam radiotherapy (PBT) focusses on an historical overview, cost-
effectiveness, techniques, acute and late toxicities and clinical results of PBT for sarcoma …
