The past three decades have borne witness to many advances in the understanding of the
molecular biology and treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), an Epstein–Barr virus …

Modern conformal radiation therapy using techniques such as modulation, image guidance
and motion management have changed the face of radiotherapy today offering superior …

Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) arises from epithelial cells and
occurs in the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a disease …

Importance Proton radiation therapy (PRT) has reduced radiation-induced toxic effects, such
as mucositis and xerostomia, over conventional photon radiation therapy, leading to …

Importance Patients with nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are primarily
treated by radiotherapy with curative intent with or without chemotherapy and often …

Purpose To compare long-term disease-related outcomes and late radiation morbidity
between intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal …

Cancer is complicated to treat because of its high propensity for recurrence and metastasis,
and various side effects of conventional cancer treatments. With the development of …

Background/purpose Setup variations and anatomical changes can severely affect the
quality of head and neck intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) treatments. The impact …

We demonstrate the first ever recorded positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging and
dosimetry of a FLASH proton beam at the Proton Center of the MD Anderson Cancer Center …

Particle therapies are becoming increasingly available clinically due to their beneficial
energy deposition profile, sparing healthy tissues. This may be further promoted with ultra …
