radiofrequency ablation: proton beam therapyrandomised controlled trialBackground & aims: Proton beam radiotherapy (PBT) has recently been applied to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, there is no randomized controlled trial-based evidence on its safety and efficacy. We compared the ...
Proton beam therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses a beam of protons to target and destroy cancer cells. It is commonly used to treat solid tumors, such as those found in the brain, spine, and prostate. How does Proton Beam Therapy differ from traditional radiation therapy?
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...

Proton Beam Therapy 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...
