Proton beam therapy [PDF]

British Journal of Cancer, 2005
Conventional radiation therapy directs photons (X-rays) and electrons at tumours with the intent of eradicating the neoplastic tissue while preserving adjacent normal tissue. Radiation-induced damage to healthy tissue and second malignancies are always a concern, however, when administering radiation.

Clinical Review of Proton Therapy in the Treatment of Unilateral Head and Neck Cancers [PDF]

International Journal of Particle Therapy, 2021
Radiotherapy is a common treatment modality in the management of head and neck malignancies. In select clinical scenarios of well-lateralized tumors, radiotherapy can be delivered to the primary tumor or tumor bed and the ipsilateral nodal regions, while

Proton beam therapy

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2016
Cancer therapy is a multi-modality approach including surgery, systemic or targeted chemotherapy, radiation (external beam or radionuclide), and immunotherapy. Radiation is typically administered using external beam photon therapy. Proton therapy has been around for more than 60 years but was restricted to research laboratories until the 1990s.

Proton-counting radiography for proton therapy: a proof of principle using CMOS APS technology [PDF]

, 2014
Despite the early recognition of the potential of proton imaging to assist proton therapy (Cormack 1963 J. Appl. Phys. 34 2722), the modality is still removed from clinical practice, with various approaches in development. For proton-counting radiography
