The current understanding of the effects of radiation is gradually becoming broader.
However, it still remains unclear why some patients respond to radiation with a pronounced …

Owing to the limited availability of data on the outcome of proton therapy, treatments are
generally optimized based on broadly available data on photon-based treatments. However …

Despite technological advances in radiotherapy and cancer treatment, patients still
experience adverse effects. Proton therapy has emerged as a valuable radiotherapy …

Simple Summary Proton radiation therapy is a more recent type of radiotherapy that uses
proton beams instead of classical photon or X-rays beams. The clinical benefit of proton …

The physical properties of proton beams offer the potential to reduce toxicity in tumor-
adjacent normal tissues. Toward this end, the number of proton radiotherapy facilities has …

Proton radiation provides significant dosimetric advantages when compared with gamma
radiation due to its superior energy deposition characteristics. Although the physical aspects …

While proton radiation therapy offers substantially better dose distribution characteristics
than photon radiation therapy in certain clinical applications, data demonstrating a …

Due to their ballistic precision, apoptosis induction by protons could be a strategy to
specifically eliminate neoplastic cells. To characterize the cellular and molecular effects of …

Purpose To review current evidence of the role of proton therapy (PT) in other tumors than
skull base, sinusal/parasinusal, spinal and pediatric tumors; to determine medico-economic …

In addition to the physical advantages (Bragg peak), the use of charged particles in cancer
therapy can be associated with distinct biological effects compared to X-rays. While heavy …
