The Birmingham Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) project : developments towards selective internal particle therapy [PDF]

, 2011
This paper will review progress on two aspects of the Birmingham BNCT project. Firstly on evaluation of the effects of high and low LET radiations when delivered simultaneously, and secondly on attempts to optimise delivery of the boron carrier compound ...

Circulating cell-free DNA as predictor of pathological complete response in locally advanced rectal cancer patients undergoing preoperative chemoradiotherapy

Clinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2022
Background: The watch and wait (W&W) strategy is proposed for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) achieving clinical complete response (cCR) after neoadjuvant radiotherapy.

Measurement of secondary particle production induced by particle therapy ion beams impinging on a PMMA target [PDF]

, 2016
Particle therapy is a technique that uses accelerated charged ions for cancer treatment and combines a high irradiation precision with a high biological effectiveness in killing tumor cells [1].

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

, 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 ...

MONDO: A neutron tracker for particle therapy secondary emission fluxes measurements [PDF]

, 2017
A charged particle passing through matter releases a considerable amount of energy at the end of its path. Thus, thanks to the spatial distribution of the deposited energy, particle therapy allows treating tumors with greater accuracy and efficiency than

Particle therapy in the future of precision therapy [PDF]

The 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.

Towards interactive deep-learning for tumour segmentation in head and neck cancer radiotherapy

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology, 2023
Background and purpose: With deep-learning, gross tumour volume (GTV) auto-segmentation has substantially been improved, but still substantial manual corrections are needed. With interactive deep-learning (iDL), manual corrections can be used to update a
