PROTON therapyRADIATION pneumonitisMEDICAL dosimetryLUNGSThe use of proton therapy (PT) in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (ES-NSCLC) remains controversial, with insufficient evidence to determine its superiority over photon therapy (XRT). We conducted a systematic review of PT trials in ES-...
Three hundred ninety-one patients received proton therapy and 1092, photon therapy. Data were analyzed from October 15, 2018, through February 1, 2019. Interventions Proton vs photon chemoradiotherapy. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was 90-day adverse events associated with ...
Proton therapy has been a hotly contested issue in both scientific publications and lay media. Proponents cite the modality's ability to spare healthy tissue, but critics claim the benefit gained from its use does not validate its cost compared with photon therapy. The objective of this study wa...
Matched adult populations (n = 558 each) receiving proton or photon therapy have been followed as well (median interval: proton group, 6.7 years; photon group, 6.0 years) [12], recording SPT rates of 5.2% and 7.5%, respectively. Above findings imply a lower incidence of SPT after ...
A comprehensive plan evaluation based on radio-biological models should be carried out to decide if a lung patient would really be benefit from proton therapy.doi:10.1002/acm2.12281Xiao, ZhiyanZou, Wei JChen, TingYue, Ning JJabbour, Salma K...
(China).The former received proton therapy with concurrent chemotherapy, referred to as the proton group, with 25 cases included; while the latter underwent X-ray therapy with concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by 1 year of sequential immunomodulatory maintenance therapy, referred to as the X-ray ...
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....
Although a CDSS was previously applied [34], [35], we have not found any application that could make quantitative decision-making about photon vs. proton therapy at three levels. A key characteristic of the system is its parallel pipeline structure, which allows easy extension by reusing the ...
In pediatric central nervous system (CNS) malignancies, proton beam therapy appears superior to photon approaches but more data is needed. The report found that, in large ocular melanomas and chordomas, there is evidence for a benefit of proton beam therapy over photon approaches. The ASTRO ...
