Investigation of Proton–Boron Capture Therapy vs. proton therapy
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2020Abstract This study aims to compare proton therapy and Proton Boron Capture Therapy (PBCT) through Monte Carlo simulation. A proton beam passing through the Snyder head phantom was simulated with and without boron in a tumor region at the center of the phantom.

Optimal Allocation of Proton Therapy Slots in Combined Proton-Photon Radiation Therapy
International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2021Proton therapy is a limited resource that is not available to all patients who may benefit from it. We investigated combined proton-photon treatments, in which some fractions are delivered with protons and the remaining fractions with photons, as an approach to maximize the benefit of limited proton therapy resources at a population level.To quantify ...

Cancer therapy is a multi-modality approach including surgery, systemic or targeted chemotherapy, radiation (external beam or radionuclide), and immunotherapy. Radiation is typically administered using external beam photon therapy. Proton therapy has been around for more than 60 years but was restricted to research laboratories until the 1990s.

Your article about the new Rinecker Proton Therapy Center near Munich (May p7) overlooks the long history of using protons to treat cancer in Europe. Although the Rinecker centre will be the first purpose-built facility for high-energy proton therapy on a hospital site in Europe, proton therapy has been active in Europe at Uppsala University in Sweden ...

The clinical advantage for proton radiotherapy over photon approaches is the marked reduction in integral dose to the patient, due to the absence of exit dose beyond the proton Bragg peak. The integral dose with protons is approximately 60% lower than that with any external beam photon technique.

World wide, in 1996, there are 17 operating proton therapy centers treating patients for both benign and malignant disease. Most centers use accelerators originally designed for physics research and adapted for medical use; only one center uses an accelerator designed specifically to operate in a hospital setting. Five centers with proton beam energies

The benefit of proton therapy over conventional photon and electron therapies has been recognized in the past few decades. The physical characteristics of proton beams are exploited to enhance the dose to the target and to reduce the dose to healthy tissues.
