Particle Therapy for Breast Cancer. [PDF]

Cancers (Basel), 2022
Particle therapy has received increasing attention in the treatment of breast cancer due to its unique physical properties that may enhance patient quality of life and reduce the late effects of therapy. In this review, we will examine the rationale for the use of proton and carbon therapy in the treatment of breast cancer and highlight their potential

Evaluation of in vitro irradiation setup: Designed for the horizontal beamline at the Danish Centre for Particle Therapy [PDF]

Acta Oncologica
Background: Radiobiological experimental setups are challenged by precise sample positioning along depth dose profile, scattering conditions, and practical difficulties that must be addressed in individual designs. The aim of this study was to produce

Particle therapy masterclass [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022
The aim of the new Particle Therapy MasterClass (PTMC) was to develop an educational and training environment in which anyone can learn about fundamental and applied research in particle therapy. The PTMC was recently integrated into the International MasterClass 2021 online programme that attracted 1500 students from 37 institutes in 20 countries ...

Particle therapy in Europe [PDF]

Molecular Oncology, 2020
Particle therapy using protons or heavier ions is currently the most advanced form of radiotherapy and offers new opportunities for improving cancer care and research. Ions deposit the dose with a sharp maximum – the Bragg peak – and normal tissue receives a much lower dose than what is delivered by X‐ray therapy.

Tissue-specific range uncertainty estimation in proton therapy

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2023
Background and Purpose: Proton therapy is sensitive to range uncertainties, which typically are accounted for by margins or robust optimization, based on tissue-independent uncertainties.

Intrafraction tumor motion monitoring and dose reconstruction for liver pencil beam scanning proton therapy

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
BackgroundPencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy can provide highly conformal target dose distributions and healthy tissue sparing. However, proton therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is prone to dosimetrical uncertainties induced by respiratory
