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 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.

Proton beam therapy for liver cancers.

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

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-
