The indication of palliative whole-brain radiotherapy for patients with brain metastases: a simple prognostic scoring system in the era of stereotactic radiosurgery

BMC Cancer
Background Stereotactic irradiation has become the mainstay treatment for brain metastases (BM), and whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) is often used for symptom palliation.

Self‐Immolative Activatable Nanoassembly toward Immuno‐Photodynamic Therapy in TME

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A quinone methide‐gated, self‐immolative, H2O2‐responsive nano‐photosensitizer (Pyz/PS) is developed for targeted immuno‐photodynamic therapy. Pyz/PS selectively activates within tumor microenvironments, restores photosensitizer activity, generates ROS, and depletes intracellular GSH, enhancing oxidative stress.

Topogram and 3DCT geometry calibration for image-guided proton therapy with in-room CT-on-rails

Physics and Imaging in Radiation Oncology
In-room computer tomography (CT) on-rails scanners are available in proton therapy centers but often limited to control imaging, due to geometric distortion and lack of integration.

Proton radiography and tomography with application to proton therapy

The British Journal of Radiology, 2015
Proton radiography and tomography have long promised benefit for proton therapy. Their first suggestion was in the early 1960s and the first published proton radiographs and CT images appeared in the late 1960s and 1970s, respectively. More than just providing anatomical images, proton transmission imaging provides the potential for the more accurate ...

Spatial fractionation of the dose in proton therapy: Proton minibeam radiation therapy

Cancer/Radiothérapie, 2019
In radiation therapy, a renewed interest is emerging for the study of spatially fractionated irradiation. In this article, a few applications using spatial fractionation of the dose will be discussed with a focus on proton minibeam radiation therapy. Examples of calculated dose (1D profiles and 2D dose distributions) and biological evidence obtained so
