The clinical case for proton beam therapy
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 and survival through dose escalation. It also has potential for reducing harm to normal organs through dose reduction. However, proton beam thera...

متن کاملImproving Outcomes for Esophageal Cancer using Proton Beam Therapy.
Radiation therapy (RT) plays an essential role in the management of esophageal cancer. Because the esophagus is a centrally located thoracic structure there is a need to balance the delivery of appropriately high dose to the target while minimizing dose to nearby critical structures. Radiation dose received by these critical structures, especially the heart and lungs, may lead to clinically sig...
متن کاملClinical outcomes and toxicity of proton beam therapy for advanced cholangiocarcinoma
BACKGROUND We examined the efficacy and toxicity of proton beam therapy (PBT) for treating advanced cholangiocarcinoma. METHODS The clinical data and outcomes of 28 cholangiocarcinoma patients treated with PBT between January 2009 and August 2011 were retrospectively examined. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and local contro...
متن کاملProton beam therapy for medulloblastoma.
It is heartening to read a report of good functional outcomes following proton beam therapy in young patients with medulloblastoma, including the absence of many unpleasant side eff ects that can occur after conventional photon therapy. The authors quote UK research, which criticises the current proton therapy treatment policy of dividing the x-ray (photon) equivalent dose by 1·1. This is done ...
