Retrospective analysis of reduced energy switching and room switching times on throughput efficiency of a multi-room proton therapy center.
A 4-room center treating ~90 patients/day, treating for ~7 years underwent a software upgrade which reduced room and energy switching times from ~30 to~20 sec...
Dose distribution of intensity-modulated proton therapy with and without a multi-leaf collimator for the treatment of maxillary sinus cancer: a comparative effectiveness study.
Using collimation can sharpen the penumbra towards surrounding normal tissue in the low energy region of the proton beam, this study from Japan thus examined...
Proton beam therapy - perspectives on the National Health Service England clinical service and research programme.
A review on proton therapy situation in the UK. Since the first proton therapy center opening in Manchester in 2018, by September 2019, 108 patients had started...
A systematic review of health economic evaluations of proton beam therapy for adult cancer: Appraising methodology and quality.
This review appraised the cost-utility analyses (CUAs) in terms of the methodology and quality for proton therapy. Having identified seven PBT CUA studies in...
Clinical Outcomes of Recurrent Intracranial Meningiomas Treated with Proton Beam Reirradiation.
This is a retrospective analysis of 16 patients who received PBRT reRT for recurrent meningiomas. The median PBRT dose was 60 Gy(RBE) and the median follow-up...
Proton beam therapy delivered using pencil beam scanning vs. passive scattering/uniform scanning for localized prostate cancer: Comparative toxicity analysis of PCG 001-09.
This study compared PBS toxicity rates with those of passive scattering/uniform scanning (PS/US) in a prospective multicenter registry. For low-to-intermediate...
