Dosimetric comparison study between intensity modulated radiation therapy and three-dimensional conformal proton therapy for pelvic bone marrow sparing in the treatment of cervical cancer. [PDF]
, 2010 The objective was to compare intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with 3D conformal proton therapy (3DCPT) in the treatment of cervical cancer. In particular, each technique's ability to spare pelvic bone marrow (PBM) was of primary interest in ...

Local treatment failure after globe-conserving therapy for choroidal melanoma. [PDF]
, 2013 Local treatment failure after globe-conserving therapy for choroidal melanoma is a surgical complication with significant morbidity to the vision and eye. Few reports in the literature have addressed this complication exclusively.

Proton Therapy: Technique of the Future to Treat Cancer Patients [PDF]
Al-Anbar Medical Journaltypes of cancer in many countries around the world. However, some countries never used proton beam therapy and do not have any center for it. One of these countries is Iraq. Although the advantages of proton beam therapy over photon beam therapy to treat

Transplantable melanomas in hamsters and gerbils as models for human melanoma : sensitization in melanoma radiotherapy : from animal models to clinical trials [PDF]
, 2018 The focus of the present review is to investigate the role of melanin in the radioprotection of melanoma and attempts to sensitize tumors to radiation by inhibiting melanogenesis. Early studies showed radical scavenging, oxygen consumption and adsorption

Proton beam therapy for liver cancers [PDF]
Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology, 2020 Proton beam therapy (PBT) delivers less dose to nearby normal organs compared to X-ray therapy (XRT), which is particularly relevant for treating liver cancers given that both mean and low liver dose are among the most significant predictors of radiation induced liver disease (RILD).
