A compact, lightweight, variable-energy cyclotron for conventional and FLASH ion beam radiotherapy [PDF]
Frontiers in OncologyIntroductionThe advantage of ion beam radiotherapy for cancer lies in its low dose proximal and distal to the tumor, owed to an energy-dependent depth-dose profile, the Bragg-peak. However, conventional techniques to achieve different energies often rely

Impact of Different Beam Energies on The Incidence of Thyroid Cancer in Breast Cancer Radiotherapy
Frontiers in Biomedical Technologies, 2022 Purpose: During breast radiotherapy, the organs which are located out of the radiation field such as the thyroid are prone to secondary cancers. The present study aims to evaluate the risk of thyroid cancer in breast cancer radiotherapy in conventional ...

Analysis of physical dose enhancement in nano-scale for nanoparticle-based radiation therapy: a Cluster and endothelial cell model [PDF]
Nanomedicine Journal, 2021 Objective(s): One major difficulty of conventional radiotherapy is the lack of selectivity between the tumor and the organs at risk. In nanoparticle aided radiotherapy, heavy elements are present at higher concentrations in the tumor than normal tissues.
