While the last decade has seen a rapid accumulation of evidence to suggest that proton beam therapy is both safe and effective in this disease site, a rigorous comparison to other radiotherapy techniques has not yet been completed. In this review, we provide an in-depth look at the evidence ...

photon beam therapy is the most widely used in clinical settings. Intensity-modulated photon radiotherapy (IMRT) was introduced in the mid-1990s, and it took the radiotherapy with photons to a huge leap forward. As the development of IMRT, it has been considered to be the advanced and the s...
000 patient records showing that men with prostate cancer treated with expensive proton beam therapy had more complications than patients given conventional radiotherapy would dent some people’s faith in the newer treatment.1 No clear evidence of better effectiveness exists, and it now appears that ...
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 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...
Neutron beam therapy uses the subatomic particles called neutrons. The History of Radiation Therapy Prostate cancer radiation treatment has been used in the United States since 1915. The first radiotherapy used radium applicators positioned adjacent to the prostate gland; unfortunately, this technique ...
