Intensity modulated radiotherapyIntensity modulated proton therapyProtons interact with human tissue differently than do photons and these differences can be exploited in an attempt to improve the care of lung cancer patients. This review examines proton beam therapy(PBT) as a component of a combined ...
Lung Cancer TheJames M. Slater, MD Proton Treatment and Research Centerbegan using proton therapy for lung cancer in the mid-1990s. Teams led byDr. David A. Bushconducted several clinical studies and followed patients for periods as long as twelve years. Results showed that proton treatment was...
A prospective study was undertaken to assess the efficacy and toxicity of conformal proton-beam radiotherapy for early-stage, medically inoperable non-small cell lung cancer. Eligible patients had clinical stage I to IIIa non-small cell lung cancer and were not candidates for surgical resection for...
Proton-beam therapy is a particle radiotherapy with an excellent dose localization that permits treatment of lung cancer by administering a high dose to the tumor while minimizing damage to the surrounding normal tissues. Thus, proton beams are increasingly being used for lung cancer. In this ...
Precision radiotherapy, which accurately delivers the dose on a tumor and confers little or no irradiation to the surrounding normal tissue and organs, results in maximum tumor control and decreases the toxicity to the utmost extent. Proton beam therapy (PBT) provides superior dose distributions and...
Proton therapy, or proton beam therapy, is a type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. At a high energy, the positively charged particles can destroy cancer cells.

compared the DVH parameters between PT and X-ray conformal radiotherapy (XCRT) in the treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The results showed that the average normal lung dose and V5 to V50 in PT were significantly lower than in XCRT [27]. The specific data...

Proton Beam therapy delivers more cancer-killing energy to the tumour, but does little or no damage to healthy tissue before or behind the tumour, and the experts at MD Anderson say it ’scatters’ side ways, nothing like as much as standard radiotherapy (and even modern versions of radiothe...
