The British Journal of Radiology, 2019 Proton beam therapy is a highly conformal form of radiation therapy, which currently represents an important therapeutic component in multidisciplinary management in paediatric oncology. The precise adjustability of protons results in a reduction of radiation-related long-term side-effects and secondary malignancy induction, which is of particular ...

A review of proton therapy – Current status and future directions
Precision Radiation Oncology, 2022 The original rationale for proton therapy was its highly conformal depth‐dose distributions compared to photons, which allow greater sparing of normal tissues and escalation of tumor doses, thus potentially improving outcomes.

Image-Guided Proton Therapy: A Comprehensive Review
Cancers, 2023 Simple Summary In proton therapy, there is a sharp peak in the delivered dose followed by a rapid falloff, known as the Bragg peak, which is not present in photons.

Catalytic activity imperative for nanoparticle dose enhancement in photon and proton therapy
Nature Communications, 2022 Nanoparticle-based radioenhancement is a promising strategy for extending the therapeutic ratio of radiotherapy. While (pre)clinical results are encouraging, sound mechanistic understanding of nanoparticle radioenhancement, especially the effects of ...

National Protocol for Model-Based Selection for Proton Therapy in Head and Neck Cancer
International Journal of Particle Therapy, 2021 In the Netherlands, the model-based approach is used to identify patients with head and neck cancer who may benefit most from proton therapy in terms of prevention of late radiation-induced side effects in comparison with photon therapy. To this purpose,
