Comparison of proton and photon therapy in stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation for ventricular tachycardia [PDF]

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology
Background and Purpose: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening arrhythmia commonly treated with catheter ablation; however, some cases remain refractory. Stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) offers a non-invasive alternative.

Cost-Effectiveness of Proton Therapy Compared With Photon Therapy in Breast Cancer.

JAMA Netw Open
Importance Proton therapy reduces radiation exposure to the heart, lungs, and contralateral breast compared with conventional photon-based breast radiotherapy. However, its clinical benefit—particularly relative to photon deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH)—remains uncertain, and its high cost raises questions ...
