Endoscopic Resection Followed by Proton Therapy With Pencil Beam Scanning for Skull Base Tumors.
A study by MSKCC compared PBS and IMRT radiation plans in the preoperative and postoperative settings for two patients with advanced skull base tumors following...
PBRT associated with a lower opioid pain requirement and a lower rate of gastrostomy tube dependence
A matched analysis compared PBRT and IMRT for nasopharynx and paranasal sinus cancers with concurrent chemotherapy, reported that PBRT was associated with a...
Intensity-modulated proton radiation therapy as a radical treatment modality for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China: A cost-effectiveness analysis.
This is a cost-effectiveness study from China. A Markov model is used with the assumption that IMPT offered NTCP reduction in long-term dysphagia, xerostomia...
Treating head and neck cancer with proton therapy
Proton particles do not deposit exit dose, which allows proton therapy to spare normal tissues distal to the tumor target. This is particularly useful for...
High-dose Intensity-modulated proton therapy versus Standard-dose Intensity-modulated RadIation therapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (HI-SIRI): study protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial.
This is a study protocol details a randomized trial taking place in Thailand with multiple centers comparing IMPT and IMRT for stage II–IVA squamous thoracic...
Cardiopulmonary Toxicity Following Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy (IMPT) Versus Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
163 consecutively treated patients with biopsy-proven, stage III NSCLC who received IMPT (n = 35, 21%) or IMRT (n = 128, 79%) were analyzed in this study...
