Intense high-quality medical proton beams via laser fields [PDF]

Optics Express, Vol. 18, Issue 25, pp. 25950-25957 (2010), 2010
During the past decade, the interaction of high-intensity lasers with solid targets has attracted much interest, regarding its potential in accelerating charged particles. In spite of tremendous progress in laser-plasma based acceleration, it is still not clear which particle beam quality will be accessible within the upcoming multi petawatt (1 PW = 10$

Helium-3 and Helium-4 acceleration by high power laser pulses for hadron therapy [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
The laser driven acceleration of ions is considered a promising candidate for an ion source for hadron therapy of oncological diseases. Though proton and carbon ion sources are conventionally used for therapy, other light ions can also be utilized. Whereas carbon ions require 400 MeV per nucleon to reach the same penetration depth as 250 MeV protons ...

Ion Acceleration by Short Chirped Laser Pulses [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Direct laser acceleration of ions by short frequency-chirped laser pulses is investigated theoretically. We demonstrate that intense beams of ions with a kinetic energy broadening of about 1 % can be generated. The chirping of the laser pulse allows the particles to gain kinetic energies of hundreds of MeVs, which is required for hadron cancer therapy,

Towards Laser Driven Hadron Cancer Radiotherapy: A Review of Progress [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
It has been known for about sixty years that proton and heavy ion therapy is a very powerful radiation procedure for treating tumours. It has an innate ability to irradiate tumours with greater doses and spatial selectivity compared with electron and photon therapy and hence is a tissue sparing procedure. For more than twenty years powerful lasers have

Laser acceleration of protons from near critical density targets for application to radiation therapy [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
Laser accelerated protons can be a complimentary source for treatment of oncological diseases to the existing hadron therapy facilities. We demonstrate how the protons, accelerated from near-critical density plasmas by laser pulses having relatively small power, reach energies which may be of interest for medical applications.

A novel anti-galectin-9 immunotherapy limits the early progression of pancreatic neoplastic lesions in transgenic mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundPancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a devastating disease with an urgent need for therapeutic innovation. Immune checkpoint inhibition has shown promise in a variety of solid tumors, but most clinical trials have failed to demonstrate clinical ...

Role of dermoscopy in laser therapy

Indian Dermatology Online Journal, 2023
Lasers have revolutionized the interventional dermatology field over the last two decades. Dermatologic conditions previously untreatable are now treated with lasers and lights. A large number of laser systems with advances in technologies have expanded applications of lasers for conditions like birth marks, acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation, etc ...

Management of post-intubation tracheal stenoses using the endoscopic approach

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2016
Background and Aim. Tracheal stenosis is a common complication of intubation with or without subsequent tracheotomy whose management remains poorly defined. Over 600 post-intubation tracheal stenoses have been treated in our centre since 1982: the aim of
