Activity-Based Costing of Intensity-Modulated Proton versus Photon Therapy for Oropharyngeal Cancer
This study used clinicopathologic factors to match 25 patients with OPC who received IMPT and 25 patients with OPC treated with IMRT. Process maps were created...
Intensity Modulated Proton Beam Therapy versus Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy for Patients with Nasopharyngeal Cancer: A Propensity Score-Matched Study
This study conducted a retrospective propensity score matching analysis (1:1) of 80 NPC patients treated with IMPT and VMAT. At a median follow-up time of 24.1...
PTCOG Head and Neck Subcommittee Consensus Guidelines on Particle Therapy for the Management of Head and Neck Tumors
This guideline reviews examined proton therapy for nasopharynx, reirradiation, sinonasal, postoperative and oropharynx and made recommendations. Proton therapy...
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...
