The main advantage of proton therapy is its precision. Protons deposit most of their energy directly in the tumor with little ...
The use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and the addition of gemcitabine to cisplatin increased the complete pathologic response (CPR) in women with locally advanced squamous cell ...
In patients with head and neck cancer, a strategy to reduce the radiation dose to dysphagia-and aspiration-related structures improved swallowing and other functional outcomes compared with standard ...
With smaller radiation beams, intensity-modulated radiation therapy “takes precision to the next level” for patients with prostate, an expert told CURE®. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) — ...
The first randomized trial to compare proton therapy with conventional radiotherapy has not found a difference in toxicity, which is the main claim for superiority of proton therapy. The trial was ...
Salvage Reirradiation for Locally Recurrent Prostate Cancer: Results From a Prospective Study With 7.2 Years of Follow-Up We investigated the SEER-Medicare linked database, identifying patients with ...
People with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with either of two types of contemporary radiation therapy - proton beam therapy or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) - ...
Of the 300 patients in the PARCER trial, 93 faced grades ≥2 adverse events (3D-CRT = 59, IG-IMRT = 34). Patients in the 3D-CRT and IG-IMRT arms spent an average of 2.39 years and 1.96 years in ...
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has largely replaced 3D external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) as the preferred radiation treatment for localized prostate cancer (PCa), according ...
The phase 3 NRG GU-005 trial did not show a DFS benefit for SBRT vs IMRT in intermediate-risk prostate cancer, but SBRT decreased rectal toxicity. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) preserves ...
SAN FRANCISCO, September 29, 2025 — A new phase III clinical trial finds that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton beam therapy resulted in similar quality-of-life outcomes and low ...
