Initial clinical experience with scanned proton beams at the Italian National Center for Hadrontherapy (CNAO)
We report the initial toxicity data with scanned proton beams at the Italian National Center for Hadrontherapy (CNAO). In September 2011, CNAO commenced patient treatment with scanned proton beams within two prospective Phase II protocols approved by the Italian Health Ministry. Patients with chondrosarcoma or chordoma of the skull base or spine were eligible. By October 2012, 21 patients had c...
متن کاملVerification of beam delivery using fibrosis after proton beam irradiation to the lung tumor.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To investigate the geometrical accuracy in proton beam therapy (PBT) to the lung by comparing the location of the fibrosis after PBT and the tumor using less invasive method. PATIENTS AND METHODS We examined 50 lung tumors that had been treated by respiratory-gated PBT (33-74 Gray equivalents). Image registration and re-slicing of computed tomography (CT) before and aft...

متن کاملOptimization of a general‐purpose, actively scanned proton beamline for ocular treatments: Geant4 simulations
The Italian National Center for Hadrontherapy (CNAO, Centro Nazionale di Adroterapia Oncologica), a synchrotron-based hospital facility, started the treatment of patients within selected clinical trials in late 2011 and 2012 with actively scanned proton and carbon ion beams, respectively. The activation of a new clinical protocol for the irradiation of uveal melanoma using the existing general-...
