Particle radiation therapy using proton and heavier ion beams. (2007, neutral): “As long as modern delivery techniques are used, intensity-modulated actively delivered proton RT will always deliver less dose to normal nontarget tissue than photon intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) for most of the indications in pediatric radiation oncology.(33) The question is whether sparing of norm”
Systemic effects of local radiotherapy (2009, neutral): “The nature of these signals and their role in radiation-induced second malignancies have been previously reviewed [2,15].”
Assessment of the Evolution of Cancer Treatment Therapies (2011, methodology): “This treatment uses CT-guided IMRT technology that directs the radiation source by rotating it around the patient, which makes the morphological limits of a tumor easier to trace with the beam [31].”
Charged particles in radiation oncology (2010, background): “Late effects and secondary cancers New radiation modalities have certainly improved local tumor control, but retain the potential to increase secondary cancers”
Heavy-ion tumor therapy: Physical and radiobiological benefits (2010, neutral): “Hall, 2006; Hall and Brenner, 2006; Macklis, 2006; Paganetti et al., 2006; Xu et al., 2008".”
Radiation-induced bystander signalling in cancer therapy (2009, neutral): “It is clearly of relevance to determine whether these changes in the delivery of radiation have consequences for patient outcome”
