Intensity-modulated radiation therapy plans delivering 54 Gy necessarily exposed the right kidney to a V18 of 98% and the liver to a V30 of 55%. Proton therapy plans significantly reduced the right kidney V18 to 32% and the liver V30 to 28%. In light of this, the proton plan was ...
Proton therapy(PT) is one of the most advanced and precise radiation therapy modalities currently available, offering superior physical characteristics compared to traditional X-ray treatment. It enables precise targeting and eradication of tumor lesions while minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding ...
摘要: Compared with photon radiation (XRT), proton beam radiation therapy (PBRT) reduces dose to normal tissues, which may lead to better neurocognitive outcomes. We compared change in intelligence quotient (IQ) over time in pediatric patients with brain tumors treated with PBRT versus XRT....

In terms of precision targeting, the case for proton therapy versus conventional radiotherapy is clear enough. Think similar tumour-killing properties as photons, but with markedly decreased dose to normal tissue. All of which helps the radiation oncology team treat tumours close to organs...
[4]compared the proton therapy versus photon therapy in the form of volumetric modulated radiation therapy (VMAT) for high-risk prostate cancer, and the study showed comparable target doses, but proton therapy was better at sparing the rectum and bladder, especially in the low- and medium-dose...

"We are using all three modes of cancer therapy to ensure the best possible treatment outcome for this type of cancer," explains Panagiotis Balermpas, principal investigator and Senior Physician at the Department for Radiation Oncology at USZ. "And irrespective of whether patients are given radiothe...
Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy Versus Intensity Modulated Photon Radiation Therapy for Oropharyngeal Cancer: First Comparative Results of Patient-Repor... We hypothesized that patients with oropharyngeal cancer treated with intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) would have lower symptom burdens, as me...
Lifetime attributable risk of radiation-induced secondary cancer from proton beam therapy compared with that of intensity-modulated X-ray therapy in random... To investigate the amount that radiation-induced secondary cancer would be reduced by using proton beam therapy (PBT) in place of intensity-...
