Charged-Particle (Proton or Helium Ion) Radiotherapy for Neoplastic Conditions - 07/2017
For individuals who have uveal melanoma(s) who receive charged-particle (proton or helium ion) radiotherapy, the evidence includes RCTs and systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are overall survival, disease-free survival, change in disease status, and treatment-related morbidity. Systematic reviews, including a 1996 TEC Assessment and a 2013 review of randomized and nonrandomized studies, conc...

متن کاملCharged-Particle (Proton or Helium Ion) Radiation Therapy - 02/12
Charged-particle beams consisting of protons or helium ions are a type of particulate radiation therapy. They contrast with conventional electromagnetic (i.e., photon) radiation therapy due to several unique properties including minimal scatter as particulate beams pass through tissue, and deposition of ionizing energy at precise depths (i.e., the Bragg peak). Thus, radiation exposure of surrou...

متن کاملGeneralization and specialization of multiple scattering theory for Gaussian beam model of heavy charged particles in radiotherapy
Theories on multiple scattering of charged particles are reviewed and reorganized to construct an accurate, simple, and efficient Gaussian-beam transport model for radiotherapy with protons and heavier ions. The Highland formula for scattering angle is modified to a scattering power formula to be used within the Fermi-Eyges theory for particle transport in the presence of heterogeneity. Semi-an...
