The 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-NSCLC, analyzing dosimetry, efficacy, and safety ...
Comparative effectiveness of proton therapy versus photon therapy as part of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced cancer. 6521 Background: Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy is standard-of-care curative treatment for many cancers, but is associated with substantial morbidity. Proton therapy may increa...
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 ...

(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....

Over the past 20 years, several proton beam treatment programs have been implemented throughout the United States. Increasingly, the number of new programs under development is growing. Proton beam therapy has the potential for improving tumor control an
