Emulating the Delivery of Sawtooth Proton Arc Therapy Plans on a Cyclotron-Based Proton Beam Therapy System. [PDF]
Cancers (Basel)Purpose: To evaluate and compare the deliverability of ‘sawtooth’ proton arc therapy (PAT) plans relative to static intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) at a cyclotron-based clinical facility. Methods: The delivery of single and dual arc Sawtooth PAT plans for an abdominal CT phantom and multiple clinical cases of brain, head and neck (H&N ...

Proton Minibeam Radiation Therapy and Arc Therapy: Proof of Concept of a Winning Alliance [PDF]
Cancers, 2021 (1) Background: Proton Arc Therapy and Proton Minibeam Radiation Therapy are two novel therapeutic approaches with the potential to lower the normal tissue complication probability, widening the therapeutic window for radioresistant tumors. While the benefits of both modalities have been individually evaluated, their combination and its potential ...

A static beam delivery device for fast scanning proton arc-therapy [PDF]
Physics in Medicine & Biology, 2021 Abstract Arc-therapy is a dose delivery technique regularly applied in photon radiation therapy, and is currently subject of great interest for proton therapy as well. In this technique, proton beams are aimed at a tumor from different continuous ranges of incident directions (so called ‘arcs’).

Risk of radiogenic second cancers following volumetric modulated arc therapy and proton arc therapy for prostate cancer [PDF]
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2012 Prostate cancer patients who undergo radiotherapy are at an increased risk to develop a radiogenic second cancer. Proton therapy has been shown to reduce the predicted risk of second cancer when compared to intensity modulated radiotherapy. However, it is unknown if this is also true for the rotational therapies proton arc therapy and volumetric ...
