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 ...

Impact of proton therapy on antitumor immune response
Scientific Reports, 2021 Radiotherapy delivered using photons induces an immune response that leads to modulation of the tumor microenvironment. Clinical studies are ongoing to evaluate immune checkpoint inhibitors in association with photon radiotherapy. At present, there is no

A Systematic Review of Proton Therapy for the Management of Nasopharyngeal Cancer
International Journal of Particle Therapy, 2021 Purpose With improved technology, more patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) are receiving definitive treatment with proton therapy, which allows greater sparing of dose to normal tissues without compromising efficacy. As there is no randomized data,

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

Second tumor risk in children treated with proton therapy
Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2021 Out‐of‐field neutron dissemination during double‐scattered proton therapy has raised concerns of increased second malignancies, disproportionally affecting pediatric patients due to the proportion of body exposed to scatter dose and inherent ...

Consensus Statement on Proton Therapy for Prostate Cancer
International Journal of Particle Therapy, 2021 Proton therapy is a promising but controversial treatment in the management of prostate cancer. Despite its dosimetric advantages when compared with photon radiation therapy, its increased cost to patients and insurers has raised questions regarding its ...
