In principle, proton therapy offers a substantial clinical advantage over conventional photon
therapy. This is because of the unique depth-dose characteristics of protons, which can be …

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have emerged as novel radiosensitizers owing to their high X-
ray absorption, synthetic versatility, and unique chemical, electronic and optical properties …

The NCCN Guidelines for Head and Neck (H&N) Cancers provide treatment
recommendations for cancers of the lip, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, ethmoid and maxillary …

Background Radiotherapy outcomes are limited by toxicity in the healthy tissues
surrounding the irradiated tumor. Recent pre-clinical studies have shown that irradiations …

Charged particle therapy has been largely driven and influenced by nuclear physics. The
increase in energy deposition density along the ion path in the body allows reducing the …

Charged particle therapy is generally regarded as cutting-edge technology in oncology.
Many proton therapy centres are active in the USA, Europe, and Asia, but only a few centres …

Background and purpose To improve precision of particle therapy, in vivo range verification
is highly desirable. Methods based on prompt gamma rays emitted during treatment seem …

The use of charged particle therapy to control tumours non-invasively offers advantages
over conventional radiotherapy. Protons and heavy ions deposit energy far more selectively …

Hyperthermia, though by itself generally non-curative for cancer, can significantly increase
the efficacy of radiation therapy, as demonstrated by in vitro, in vivo, and clinical results. Its …

Prostate cancer has surpassed lung cancer as the most common cancer in men in the
United States. The NCCN Guidelines for Prostate Cancer provide multidisciplinary …
