The computer code, Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter (SRIM), is widely used to describe
energetic processes of ion-solid interactions; its predictive power relies on the accuracy of …

Radiotherapy has been driven by constant technological advances since the discovery of X-
rays in 1895. Radiotherapy aims to sculpt the optimal isodose on the tumour volume while …

Background Concomitant chemoradiotherapy and accelerated radiotherapy independently
improve outcomes for patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous-cell …

Carbon ion therapy is a promising evolving modality in radiotherapy to treat tumors that are
radioresistant against photon treatments. As carbon ions are more effective in normal and …

In this paper, we discuss the role of particle therapy—a novel radiation therapy (RT) that has
shown rapid progress and widespread use in recent years—in multidisciplinary treatment …

These NCCN Guidelines Insights focus on recent updates to the 2015 NCCN Guidelines for
Head and Neck (H&N) Cancers. These Insights describe the different types of particle …

Radiotherapy, where ionizing radiation is locally delivered either through an external beam
or by surgically implanting radionuclide-based seeds in the tumor, is one of the gold …

This work proposes a generic method for modeling scanned ion beam delivery systems,
without simulation of the treatment nozzle and based exclusively on beam data library (BDL) …

Purpose: Charged particle therapy (CPT) is currently based on the use of protons or carbon
ions for the treatment of deep-seated and/or radioresistant tumors, which are known to return …

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 …
