Variation in Proton Craniospinal Irradiation Practice Patterns in the United States: A Pediatric Proton Consortium Registry (PPCR) Study.
Published in the Red Journal, this study examined the CSI plans in the Pediatric Proton/Photon Consortium Registry (PPCR) to characterize proton CSI practice...
PBRT associated with a lower opioid pain requirement and a lower rate of gastrostomy tube dependence
A matched analysis compared PBRT and IMRT for nasopharynx and paranasal sinus cancers with concurrent chemotherapy, reported that PBRT was associated with a...
Single-institution clinical experience using robust intensity modulated proton therapy in chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the mobile spine and sacrum: Feasibility and need for plan adaptation.
Treatment and acute toxicity data of 17 chordoma and 3 chondrosarcoma patients treated with IMPT were retrospectively evaluated in this study. This study found...
Assessment of Radiation-Induced Optic Neuropathy in a Multi-Institutional Cohort of Chordoma and Chondrosarcoma Patients Treated with Proton Therapy
Radiation-induced optic neuropathy (RION) is a rare side effect following radiation therapy. A multi-institutional cohort including 289 skull-base cancer...
A comparison of acute toxicities and patient-reported outcomes between intensity-modulated proton therapy and volumetric-modulated arc therapy after ipsilateral radiation for head and neck cancers.
A cohort of tonsil and salivary gland cancer patients who received ipsilateral curative-intent radiotherapy delivered by IMPT or VMAT were reviewed including...
Proton therapy can be a safe and effective curative reirradiation strategy for head and neck cancer
Proton therapy can be a safe and effective curative reirradiation strategy for head and neck cancer, with acceptable rates of toxicity and durable disease...
Intensity-modulated proton radiation therapy as a radical treatment modality for nasopharyngeal carcinoma in China: A cost-effectiveness analysis.
This is a cost-effectiveness study from China. A Markov model is used with the assumption that IMPT offered NTCP reduction in long-term dysphagia, xerostomia...
