A treatment planning study of the potential of geometrical tracking for intensity modulated proton therapy of lung cancer

, 2010
Proton therapy of lung cancer holds the potential for a reduction of the volume of irradiated normal lung tissue. In this work we investigate the robustness of intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) plans to motion, and evaluate a geometrical tumour ...

Application of constant vs. variable relative biological effectiveness in treatment planning of intensity-modulated proton therapy

, 2011
To investigate in a simulation study whether using a variable relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in calculation and optimization of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) instead of using an RBE of 1.1 would result in significant changes in the ...

New frontiers in proton therapy: applications in cancers

Cancer Communications, 2019
Proton therapy offers dominant advantages over photon therapy due to the unique depth-dose characteristics of proton, which can cause a dramatic reduction in normal tissue doses both distal and proximal to the tumor target volume.
