Particle therapy in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Particle Therapy for Breast Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCancers, 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

Particle Therapy

open access: yes, 2022
Particle therapy is a form of radiation therapy in which high energy ionised particles, most commonly protons or neutrons, are aimed at the target tissue. In the context of breast cancer treatment, proton beam therapy is the most commonly used particle therapy and is therefore the focus of this section.

Particle therapy for noncancer diseases [PDF]

open access: yesMedical Physics, 2012
Radiation therapy using high‐energy charged particles is generally acknowledged as a powerful new technique in cancer treatment. However, particle therapy in oncology is still controversial, specifically because it is unclear whether the putative clinical advantages justify the high additional costs.

Particle therapy in the future of precision therapy [PDF]

open access: yesThe British Journal of Radiology, 2020
The first hospital-based treatment facilities for particle therapy started operation about thirty years ago. Since then, the clinical experience with protons and carbon ions has grown continuously and more than 200,000 patients have been treated to date.

Does uncertainty in variability in relative biological effectiveness affect patient treatment in proton therapy? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Clinical treatment with protons uses the concept of relative biological effectiveness (RBE) to convert the absorbed dose into an RBE-weighted dose that equals the dose for radiotherapy with photons causing the same biological effect. Currently, in proton

Molecular Signaling in Response to Charged Particle Exposures and its Importance in Particle Therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Energetic, charged particles elicit an orchestrated DNA damage response (DDR) during their traversal through healthy tissues and tumors. Complex DNA damage formation, after exposure to high linear energy transfer (LET) charged particles, results in ...

Radiation dose constraints for organs at risk in neuro-oncology; the European Particle Therapy Network consensus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Purpose: For unbiased comparison of different radiation modalities and techniques, consensus on delineation of radiation sensitive organs at risk (OARs) and on their dose constraints is warranted.

Conceptual design of a nonscaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator for protons and carbon ions for charged particle therapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The conceptual design for a nonscaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator suitable for charged particle therapy (the use of protons and other light ions to treat some forms of cancer) is ...

Proton Beam Therapy for Children With Neuroblastoma: Experiences From the Prospective KiProReg Registry

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
ObjectiveRadiotherapy (RT) is an integral part of the interdisciplinary treatment of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma (NB). With the continuous improvements of outcome, the interest in local treatment strategies that reduce treatment-related side ...
