The original rationale for proton therapy was its highly conformal depth‐dose distributions
compared to photons, which allow greater sparing of normal tissues and escalation of tumor …

Modern conformal radiation therapy using techniques such as modulation, image guidance
and motion management have changed the face of radiotherapy today offering superior …

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

Simple Summary Proton therapy is a promising type of radiation therapy used to destroy
tumor cells. It has the potential to further improve the outcomes for patients with head and …

Introduction Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is highly sensitive to anatomical
variations which can cause inadequate target coverage during treatment. This study …

Purpose The National Association for Proton Therapy conducted 8 surveys of all operational
United States proton centers (2012-2021) and analyzed the patients treated, diagnoses, and …

Importance Patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC) treated with radiotherapy often
experience substantial toxic effects, even with modern techniques such as intensity …

Opinion statement The rise in the incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated
oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPC), the relatively young age at which it is …

Purpose We compared work outcomes in patients with oropharyngeal cancer (OPC),
randomized to intensity-modulated proton (IMPT) versus intensity-modulated photon therapy …

Introduction Despite reduction of xerostomia with intensity-modulated compared to
conformal X-ray radiotherapy, radiation-induced dental complications continue to occur …
