Treatment outcomes of proton or carbon ion therapy for skull base chordoma: a retrospective study

Radiation Oncology, 2018
Background The usefulness of particle therapy for skull base chordoma has not been established. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyse the treatment outcomes of proton therapy (PT) and carbon ion therapy (CIT) in patients with skull base ...

Proton beam therapy is a safe and effective treatment in elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Thoracic Cancer, 2020
Background There are many elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, there are currently few articles regarding the clinical outcome following proton beam therapy in these patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate

Proton beam therapy in the management of skull base chordomas: systematic review of indications, outcomes, and implications for neurosurgeons [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: Chordomas are rare tumours affecting the skull base. There is currently no clear consensus on the post-surgical radiation treatments that should be used after maximal tumour resection.

Proton beam therapy for the isolated recurrence of endometrial cancer in para-aortic lymph nodes: a case report

BMC Women's Health, 2022
Background Proton beam therapy penetrates tumor tissues with a highly concentrated dose. It is useful when normal structures are too proximate to the treatment target and, thus, may be damaged by surgery or conventional photon beam therapy.

Scintillating fiber devices for particle therapy applications [PDF]

, 2018
Particle Therapy (PT) is a radiation therapy technique in which solid tumors are treated with charged ions and exploits the achievable highly localized dose delivery, allowing to spare healthy tissues and organs at risk.

Hybrid Compton-PET imaging for Ion-Range Monitoring in Hadron Therapy [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Hadron therapy is a rapidly growing cancer treatment, offering high precision in targeting tumors while sparing healthy tissue. However, its full potential is limited by uncertainties in the range of therapeutic ions, largely due to current reliance on X-

Successful treatment with proton beam therapy for a solitary sternal metastasis of breast cancer: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Breast cancer infrequently metastasizes to the sternum as solitary metastasis. We experienced successful treatment with proton beam therapy for a case of sternal metastasis of breast cancer.

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 ...

Performance prediction of gamma electron vertex imaging (GEVI) system for interfractional range shift detection in spot scanning proton therapy

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2022
The maximum dose delivery at the end of the beam range provides the main advantage of using proton therapy. The range of the proton beam, however, is subject to uncertainties, which limit the clinical benefits of proton therapy and, therefore, accurate ...
