Proton beam therapy (PBT) is a different type of radiotherapy for treating cancer that delivers doses with a high-energy beam of protons rather than high-energy X-rays used in standard radiotherapy treatment. PBT can deliver radiation more precisely to tumours thus sparing neighbouring healthy tiss...
Although in use for over 40 years, proton beam therapy for prostate cancer has only recently come under public scrutiny, due to its increased cost compared to other forms of treatment. While the last decade has seen a rapid accumulation of evidence to suggest that proton beam therapy is both...
To determine the treatment outcome and prognostic factors in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the skull base treated with proton beam radiation therapy. Retrospective analysis. Massachusetts General Hospital, Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, and Harvard Medical School, Boston. From 1991 to ...
Proton beam therapy provides effective high-dose irradiation in the postoperative phase and is the preferred treatment option for such cases.Introduction Historically, the priority for treating medulloblastoma (MB) in children has been avoidance of undue side effects while achieving tumor control. As ...
The risk of radiation-induced cancers is proportional to the dose delivered. Using a proton beam treatment planning system, we compared the distribution of proton dose to x-ray dose in patients with HL treated with x-ray therapy at Mayo Clinic. We found that the integral dose of exposure ...
The proton therapy system consists of a cyclotron, beam delivery devices, and rotary gantry irradiation devices (gantry, irradiation nozzle, patient positioning system). Sumitomo Heavy Industries has been an accelerator manufacturer since the early 1970s, and for proton therapy, we have been collaborat...
Proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) is a type of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) that utilizes protons (positively charged subatomic particles) that are precisely targeted to a specific tissue mass. Proton beams have the potential ability to penetrate deep into tissues to reach tumors, whil...
Using proton beam therapy to treat cancer isn't new, but UK startup Advanced Oncotherapy's linac-based solution might finally make it more accessible.
