Intensity modulated proton therapy.
Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) implies the electromagnetic spatial control of well-circumscribed "pencil beams" of protons of variable energy and intensity. Proton pencil beams take advantage of the charged-particle Bragg peak-the characteristic peak of dose at the end of range-combined with the modulation of pencil beam variables to create target-local modulations in dose that achie...
متن کاملAdaptation is mandatory for intensity modulated proton therapy of advanced lung cancer to ensure target coverage.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Large anatomical changes during radiotherapy are seen for a large proportion of lung cancer patients. We investigate the applicability of a decision support protocol for photon therapy in a proton therapy setting. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-three consecutive NSCLC patients treated with adaptive photon therapy were retrospectively planned using IMPT. The adaptive protoc...
متن کاملProton Therapy Reduces Treatment- Related Toxicities for Patients with Nasopharyngeal Cancer: A Case-Match Control Study of Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy and Intensity-Modulated Photon Therapy
Purpose: The physical properties of proton therapy allow for decreased dose delivery to nontarget structures. The purpose of this study was to determine if this translates into a clinical benefit by comparing acute and chronic morbidity between patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who are treated with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and those treated with intensity-modulated radiati...
متن کاملProton-Beam vs Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
June 01, 2008 External-beam radiation is a highly effective curative treatment option for men with localized prostate cancer.[1,2] Over the past several decades, efforts have been made to improve the “therapeutic ratio” of radiation by increasing dose to improve cure rates without causing a substantial increase in side effects. Due to its potential to create superior dose distributions, proton ...
متن کاملVolumetric Modulated Radiation Therapy and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for Lung Cancer: Literature Review
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric intensity-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are two commonly used modalities to treat lung cancer. VMAT has established increasing interest in treating cancer due to shorter treatment delivery time and less number of monitor units (MUs). The main purpose of this article was to review the relevant current literature on planning studies for l...
