Background Intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) has the potential to spare dose to
organs at risk (OAR) when compared to intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) while …

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 …

The treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has traditionally included a
multimodality approach including radiotherapy (RT) and systemic chemotherapy. RT has …

Importance Patients with nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are primarily
treated by radiotherapy with curative intent with or without chemotherapy and often …

Simple Summary Based on literature evidence, it is difficult to conclude the advantages and
safety of IMPT in patients with NPC. We performed propensity score matching analysis of …

Background The aim of this treatment planning study was to investigate the potential
advantages of intensity-modulated (IM) proton therapy (IMPT) compared with IM photon …

Background Owing to its physical properties, intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT)
used for patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma has the ability to reduce the dose to organs …

Radiation therapy plays an integral role in the management of head and neck cancers
(HNCs). While most HNC patients have historically been treated with photon-based …

A potential advantage of intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) over intensity-modulated
(photon) radiation therapy (IMRT) in the treatment of oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) is …

Purpose We hypothesized that patients with oropharyngeal cancer treated with intensity
modulated proton therapy (IMPT) would have lower symptom burdens, as measured by …
