Proton therapy versus photon radiation therapy for the management of a recurrent desmoid tumor of the right flank: a case report

Radiation Oncology, 2012
Desmoid tumors are benign mesenchymal tumors with a strong tendency for local recurrence after surgery. Radiotherapy improves local control following incomplete resection, but nearby organs at risk may limit the dose to the target volume.

Dose-painting intensity-modulated proton therapy for intermediate- and high-risk meningioma. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND Newly diagnosed WHO grade II-III or any WHO grade recurrent meningioma exhibit an aggressive behavior and thus are considered as high- or intermediate risk tumors. Given the unsatisfactory rates of disease control and survival after primary

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 ...

Intensity-modulated proton therapy vs intensity-modulated radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a case–control studyResearch in context

The Lancet Regional Health. Americas
Summary: Background: Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is associated with fewer acute toxicities compared with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in definitive treatment of nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
