Impact of reduced robustness settings on the necessity for proton therapy treatment plan adaptation in head-and-neck cancer patients

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology
Background and purpose: Robust optimization mitigates the effects of range and setup uncertainties in intensity–modulated proton therapy (IMPT) through robustness settings. However, it increases the dose to organs-at-risk (OARs).

Innovative radiotherapy approaches

ESMO Gastrointestinal Oncology
Radiotherapy (RT) with concurrent chemotherapy is the standard of care for squamous-cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCAC), achieving favorable results in terms of local control and overall survival. However, locoregional failure remains common despite

Comparison of stereotactic photon and proton treatment plans for metastasis-directed radiotherapy

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology
Background and purpose: Achieving optimal local control is pivotal in the context of metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) in delaying further metastatic spread. The clear correlation between the biological equivalent dose (BED) and local control, with rates

Robustness assessment using probabilistic scenarios of intensity modulated proton therapy and volumetric arc therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer: an in-silico radiotherapy planning study

, 2017
Radiotherapy is an essential treatment component for patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer. Despite advances, survival remains poor. Proton beam therapy holds the promise of improving cure rates without increasing treatment-related toxicity.
