-effectiveness, and an overview of the ongoing modern large prospective studies that aim to resolve the debate between protons and photons for prostate cancer.Present data have demonstrated that proton beam therapy is safe and effective compared with the standard treatment options for prostate cancer....
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy for head and neck cancer Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) involves the delivery of optimized nonuniform beam intensities to the patient. In the head and neck region, th... G Ozyigit,T Yang,K S Clifford Chao - 《Current Treatment Options in Oncol...
For photon irradiation an X-RAD 320ix cabinet was used (X-ray unit (Precision X-Ray Inc, Denver, USA, 320 kV, 8 mA, filter: 0.5 mm Cu and 0.5 mm Al, dose rate 1 Gy/min). 12C-irradiation was performed at the Marburg Ion-Beam Therapy Centre (MIT). Cells were irradiated with a...
Effect of Photon-Beam Energy on VMAT and IMRT Treatment Plan Quality and Dosimetric Accuracy for Advanced Prostate Cancer Purpose: The goal of the research was to evaluate treatment plan quality and dosimetric accuracy of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and int...

4,9 In a prospective study, Mizumoto et al10 compared the frequencies of smell sensations experienced under photon and proton beams and concluded that patients who received photon therapy sensed these smells (43/415; 10.4%) more frequently than those treated with proton beam therapy (8/205; ...
To compare dose distributions and robustness in treatment plans from eight European centres in preparation for the European randomized phase-III PROTECT-trial investigating the effect of proton therapy (PT) versus photon therapy (XT) for oesophageal cancer. Materials and methods All centres optimized on...
However, because of an improvement in RT technology and clinical experience, the adaptation of RT for the treatment of HCC has been increasing. Moreover, the use of volumetric modulation arc therapy (VMAT), tomotherapy, and proton beam therapy (PBT) has been increasing recently [1, 5, 6]....
Beside the physical advantage of P irradiation in dose deposition, our observations provide preclinical evidence that beam therapy with P might be superior to conventional X therapy in HNSCC patients, due to its biological advantages. P irradiation could therefore permit dose escalation without ...
Furthermore, in the field of therapy, photons play a significant role in techniques such as external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), which allows the precise targeting of cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues [8]. Photodynamic therapy (PDT), on the other hand, utilizes photosensitive...
