Recent advances in radiotherapy have enabled the use of different types of particles, such
as protons and heavy ions, as well as refinements to the treatment of tumours with standard …

Rapid innovations in radiation therapy techniques have resulted in an urgent need for risk
projection models for second cancer risks from high-dose radiation exposure, because …

The introduction of advanced techniques and technology in radiotherapy has greatly
improved our ability to deliver highly conformal tumor doses while minimizing the dose to …

Purpose Proton radiation, when compared with photon radiation, allows delivery of
increased radiation dose to the tumor while decreasing dose to adjacent critical structures …

The carcinogenic risk induced by low doses of ionizing radiation is controversial. It cannot
be assessed with epidemiologic methods alone because at low doses the data are …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Relative to X-ray beams, proton [1H] and carbon ion [12C]
beams provide superior distributions due primarily to their finite range. The principal …

One of the primary diseases that cause death worldwide is cancer. Cancer cells can be
intrinsically resistant or acquire resistance to therapies and drugs used for cancer treatment …

Second primary malignancies (SPMs) occurring after oncological treatment have become a
major concern during the past decade. Their incidence has long been underestimated …

While radiation health risks at low doses have traditionally been estimated from high-dose
studies, we have reviewed recent literature and concluded that the mechanisms of action for …

Dosimetry of ionising radiation is a well-established and mature branch of physical sciences
with many applications in medicine and biology. In particular radiotherapy relies on …
