Investigating the potential of proton therapy for hypoxia-targeted dose escalation in non-small cell lung cancer

Radiation Oncology, 2021
Background Hypoxia is known to be prevalent in solid tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and reportedly correlates with poor prognostic clinical outcome.

Hypofractionated proton beam radiotherapy in patients with unresectable liver tumors: multi-institutional prospective results from the Proton Collaborative Group

Radiation Oncology, 2020
Background Recent advances in radiotherapy techniques have allowed ablative doses to be safely delivered to inoperable liver tumors. In this setting, proton beam radiotherapy (PBT) provides the means to escalate radiation dose to the target volume while ...

Prognostic impact of the “Sekhar grading system for cranial Chordomas” in patients treated with pencil beam scanning proton therapy: an institutional analysis

Radiation Oncology, 2020
Background Skull base chordomas are rare and heterogeneously behaving tumors. Though still classified as benign they can grow rapidly, are locally aggressive, and have the potential to metastasize. To adapt the treatment to the specific needs of patients

CT-on-Rails Versus In-Room CBCT for Online Daily Adaptive Proton Therapy of Head-and-Neck Cancers

Cancers, 2021
Simple Summary Daily adaptive proton therapy will allow the unique properties of protons to be fully exploited. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is the primary imaging modality considered for daily adaptation due to its low cost, compactness, and thus wide ...

Deep learning method for prediction of patient-specific dose distribution in breast cancer

Radiation Oncology, 2021
Background Patient-specific dose prediction improves the efficiency and quality of radiation treatment planning and reduces the time required to find the optimal plan. In this study, a patient-specific dose prediction model was developed for a left-sided
