Subglottic Stenosis After Radioactive Iodine Treatment for Graves' Disease: A Case Report

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Subglottic stenosis (SGS) is a narrowing of the airway below the glottis and may be congenital or acquired. While prolonged intubation is the most common cause of acquired SGS, other etiologies remain incompletely understood. Methods A 37‐year‐old woman presented with a four‐year history of mild progressive stridor, dysphonia, and ...

Hypervision Proton Surgery: The Future Direction of Proton Therapy

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proton beams provide unique physical advantages characterized by a low entrance dose, negligible exit dose, and a sharp Bragg peak, which enable superior sparing of normal tissues and support safe dose escalation for improved tumor control. However, conventional photon‐based fractionation remains widely used in proton therapy, where prolonged ...
