Conventional photon radiotherapy (RT) for breast cancer is associated with reduction in global longitudinal strain (GLS), an increase in both troponin and N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and incident heart failure. The cardiac radiation exposure with proton-RT is reduced ...
The most common type of radiation therapy used to treat breast cancer is external beam radiation. A specialized type of this, called proton therapy, targets just the tumor so the surrounding healthy tissue is less likely to be harmed. Another name for this radiation treatment is intensity modulat...
Proton therapy is not offered for the majority of patients with breast cancer. However, there are some circumstances where there may be a benefit. Patients who have previously receivedradiation therapyand need additional radiation therapy to the same region can possibly benefit, depending on the loca...
Center for Proton Therapy receive the benefit of pencil-beam proton therapy.Pencil-beam scanningis ideal for patients with tumors in sensitive areas, such as prostate cancer, because it uses an ultra-fine proton beam with pencil-point precision to delicately apply the radiation to the targeted ...
Purpose of this study was to determine the toxicity and treatment outcome after dose escalation with proton radiation therapy for patients with World Healt... Chan - 《Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment》 被引量: 16发表: 2012年 Radiation Treatment Strategies in Patients Undergoing Breast-Cons...
Purpose: Through improved nodal coverage and decreased dose to the heart and lung, proton therapy (PT) may improve the therapeutic ratio for treatment of breast cancer requiring regional nodal irradiation (RNI). The purpose of this study is to report 5 year disease control and toxicity. Methods...
the radiation dose at the end of the range and a sharp lateral dose fall-off with the maximum energy deposition for each proton beam in the target region and almost no energy around it. Therefore, proton beam therapy (PBT) effectively allows the delivery of high-radiation doses to tumor ...
For comparison, intensity-modulated radiation therapy photon plans optimized for organ sparing and coverage were generated after treatment. Results Six patients were included. The median patient age was 66 years; all were female with no history of breast cancer or radiation therapy. Two (33%) ...
Proton therapy may offer potential clinical advantages compared with conventional radiation therapy for many cancer patients. Due to the large investment costs for building a proton therapy facility, however, the treatment cost with proton radiation is higher than with conventional radiation. It is there...
