Nurse Navigation on Time to Postoperative Radiation Therapy after Transoral Robotic Surgery for Oropharyngeal Carcinoma

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) initiation within 6 weeks of surgery is associated with improved oncologic outcomes in head and neck cancer, but delays remain common. Oncology nurse navigators (ONN) may improve care coordination.

Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy In Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Priming the Tumor Immune Microenvironment From Bench To Bedside

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
The dual immunomodulatory network of radiotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma. Radiotherapy initiates its effects by inducing immunogenic cell death and DNA double‐strand breaks. Immune Activation: Cytosolic DNA from damaged cells activates the cGAS‐STING pathway, triggering IRF3/NF‐κB‐mediated type I interferon production. This enhances dendritic cell

Monte Carlo calculated CT numbers for improved heavy ion treatment planning

Nukleonika, 2014
Better knowledge of CT number values and their uncertainties can be applied to improve heavy ion treatment planning. We developed a novel method to calculate CT numbers for a computed tomography (CT) scanner using the Monte Carlo (MC) code, BEAMnrc ...

Dynamic profiles of early biological responses to predict the treatment efficacy of proton therapy in liver cancer assessed with in vivo kinetic [18F]-FDG PET/MRI

Radiation Oncology
Background Proton beam therapy is an advanced treatment for patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma. However, evaluating the response to treatment with tumor size alone is insufficient.

Range-compensated pencil beam scanning proton Arc therapy: a feasibility study

Communications Engineering
Proton arc therapy is a conceptual treatment technique in proton therapy that delivers a scanned proton pencil beam simultaneously as the gantry is rotated around the patient, exploiting the geometric advantages of a continuous arc with the dosimetric ...

The ‘radiation vacation’: Parents’ experiences of travelling to have their children’s brain tumours treated with proton beam therapy

Health Psychology Open, 2016
Proton beam therapy is a new form of radiotherapy. Little is known about patients’ experiences of proton beam therapy and less about parents’ experiences of children receiving treatment.

Linac booster for high energy proton therapy and imaging

Physical Review Accelerators and Beams, 2018
For an optimal exploitation of the benefits of proton therapy the most accurate dose delivery system should be used. The TERA Foundation has extensive experience in the field of high gradient high frequency linacs.

Safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and mechanisms of novel 10B‐boronophenylalanine combined with a radio‐frequency quadrupole accelerator in boron neutron capture therapy: A preclinical study in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the novel 10B‐BPA‐based BNCT system, combined with an RFQ accelerator, effectively targets head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It induces tumor regression safely and efficiently by triggering DNA damage and activating the ROS/HIF‐1α/NF‐κB pathway, leading to caspase‐3‐mediated apoptosis.
