External Beam Radiation Therapy: 3D-Conformal, Intensity-Modulated, and Proton BeamRadiation plays an important role in the treatment for gallbladder and biliary tract cancers. In the adjuvant setting, the goal of radiation is to provide local disease control and, by doing so, slow overall ...
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 reach tumors, whil...
Note: There is as yet no good comparative data to determine whether or not Proton Beam Therapy for these conditions is superior, inferior, or equivalent to external beam radiation, IMRT, or brachytherapy in terms of safety or effi...

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...
the first proton beam therapy system of the National Cancer Center Japan was delivered to the East Hospital Research Center. Since then, the system hasobtainedJapan's first medical device manufacturing and sales license (*1) as a proton therapy system in 2001, and has been operating stably for...
High-dose conformal proton beam radiation therapy results in a very encouraging local control rate in patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the skull base. Changes in vision at presentation and tumor involvement of the sphenoid sinus and clivus are important prognostic factors. 展开 ...
The risk of radiation-induced cancers is proportional to the dose delivered. Using a proton beam treatment planning system, we compared the distribution of proton dose to x-ray dose in patients with HL treated with x-ray therapy at Mayo Clinic. We found that the integral dose of exposure ...
The antitumor immune response generated by fractionated radiation therapy may be limited by tumor cell adaptive resistance and can be circumvented by PD-L1 blockade. Oncoimmunology 2015; 4: e1016709. 25 Zuofeng Li. Prescribing, recording, and reporting proton-beam therapy: International Commission ...
The significance of definitive radiotherapy for sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SMM) is sill controvertial. T his study was to evaluate the role of high-dose proton beam therapy (PBT) in patients with SMM. The cases of 20 patients with SMM localized to the p
