Dosimetric comparison study between intensity modulated radiation therapy and three-dimensional conformal proton therapy for pelvic bone marrow sparing in the treatment of cervical cancer. [PDF]
The objective was to compare intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with 3D conformal proton therapy (3DCPT) in the treatment of cervical cancer. In particular, each technique's ability to spare pelvic bone marrow (PBM) was of primary interest in ...

Determination of ADP/ATP translocase isoform ratios in malignancy and cellular senescence
The individual functions of three isoforms exchanging ADP and ATP (ADP/ATP translocases; ANTs) on the mitochondrial membrane remain unclear. We developed a method for quantitatively differentiating highly similar human ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 using parallel reaction monitoring. This method allowed us to assess changes in translocase levels during cellular

A Bayesian Inverse Approach to Proton Therapy Dose Delivery Verification [PDF]
This study presents a proof-of-concept for a novel Bayesian inverse method in a one-dimensional setting, aimed at proton beam therapy treatment verification. Our methodology is predicated on a hypothetical scenario wherein strategically positioned sensors detect prompt-{\gamma}'s emitted from a proton beam when it interacts with defined layers of ...

Spatial fractionation of the dose in proton therapy: Proton minibeam radiation therapy
In radiation therapy, a renewed interest is emerging for the study of spatially fractionated irradiation. In this article, a few applications using spatial fractionation of the dose will be discussed with a focus on proton minibeam radiation therapy. Examples of calculated dose (1D profiles and 2D dose distributions) and biological evidence obtained so

Clinical consequences of relative biological effectiveness variations in proton radiotherapy of the prostate, brain and liver [PDF]
Proton relative biological effectiveness (RBE) is known to depend on the (alpha/beta)(x) of irradiated tissues, with evidence of similar to 60% variation over (alpha/beta)(x) values from 1-10 Gy.
