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,

Proton Therapy and Gliomas: A Systematic Review
Radiation, 2021 Background: Gliomas are primary cerebral tumors. Radiation therapy plays a key role in their treatment but with a risk of toxicity associated with the dose to and volume of normal tissue that is irradiated.

Characterization of pixelated silicon detectors for daily quality assurance measurements in proton therapy [PDF]
, 2022 The advanced imaging and delivery techniques in proton therapy allow conformal high-dose irradiation of the target volume with high accuracy using pencil beam scanning or beam shaping apertures. These irradiation methods increasingly include small radiation fields with large dose gradients, which require detector systems with high spatial resolution ...

Pencil‐beam scanning proton therapy for the treatment of glomus jugulare tumours
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, 2022 Introduction Glomus jugulare tumours (GJT) are benign tumours that arise locally and destructively in the base of the skull and can be successfully treated with radiotherapy.

Treatment outcomes of passive scattering proton beam therapy for stage I non-small cell lung cancer
Radiation Oncology, 2021 Introduction To investigate the treatment outcomes of passive scattering proton beam therapy using stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) or hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT) for inoperable patients or those who refused surgery for stage I non ...
