Mashup Score: 2Pencil beam scanning proton therapy for pregnant patients with brain and head and neck cancers - 7 month(s) ago
: When radiotherapy is medically necessary for pregnant patients, photon-based treatments (XRT) have traditionally been used, while proton radiotherapy (PRT) is avoided due to concerns about neutron dose. This retrospective study analyzes pregnant patients treated with XRT and models the equivalent dose that would have been delivered to the fetus with proton radiation compared to XRT. The purpose of this work is to provide a comprehensive analysis of pencil beam scanning proton therapy (PBS-PRT) for pregnant patients and to evaluate whether PBS-PRT should be the new standard of practice for treating pregnant patients with brain and head and neck cancers.

Mashup Score: 6Superior verbal learning and memory in pediatric brain tumor survivors treated with proton versus photon radiotherapy - PubMed - 1 year(s) ago
Results suggest that PRT is associated with verbal memory sparing, driven by effective encoding and use of learning strategies.
