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 ...
Proton beam therapy offers an option for obtaining that balance. Hospital- or clinic-based proton beam facilities have been in existence since 1990. Currently, 11 proton beam facilities are in operation in the United States (Figure 1) and 26 are operational in 13 other countries (Russia, Switze...
1 More centres for proton beam therapy have subsequently been built in Europe since the 1990s. According to the particle therapy co-operative group (PTCOG; available online at www.ptcog.ch), the number of particle therapy facilities in operation in Europe is forecast to increase from the ...
To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of proton beam therapy (PBT) in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). Twenty-seven HCC patients with PVTT underwent PBT, including 22 patients with modified International Union Against Cancer (mUICC...
Proton beam therapy is a safe and effective treatment for cancer. Proton therapy uses a focused ray of proton particles delivering a precise beam of targeted radiation.
In America, Proton Beam Therapy is used for a number of cancers because it causes less damage to tissues before and surrounding. The NCI actually states that Proton Beam 'stops at the tumour' so there is no damage after. Not surprisingly, ’high precision’ proton beam therapy is increasingly...
Purpose Proton beam therapy is a commonly accepted treatment for intraocular melanomas, but the literature is lacking in descriptions of patient preferences of clinical outcomes and economic impact. In addition, no economic evaluations have been published regarding the incremental cost-effectiveness of pr...
