“Proton therapy planning and image-guidance strategies within a randomized controlled trial for high-risk prostate cancer” Extract from abstract: The Danish Prostate Cancer Group is launching the randomized trial, PROstate PROTON Trial 1 (NCT05350475), that compares photons and protons to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes in treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. The aim of the […]

Article from Radiological Physics and Technology, 2024Inter-fractional error and intra-fractional motion of prostate and dosimetry comparisons of patient position registrations with versus without fiducial markers during treatment with carbon-ion radiotherapyArticle from Radiological Physics and Technology, 2024
“Inter-fractional error and intra-fractional motion of prostate and dosimetry comparisons of patient position registrations with versus without fiducial markers during treatment with carbon-ion radiotherapy” Abstract (extract): In 2020, data from 15 patients with prostate cancer who received carbon-ion beam radiotherapy (CIRT) with gold markers were investigated. We checked marker positions before and during irradiation to […]
Background and purpose (extract): Intrafraction motion degrades the efficacy of radiation therapy. We reported on the implementation of focal dose-escalated stereotactic body radiation therapy (HypoFocal-SBRT) for prostate carcinoma on standard linear accelerator, and assessed whether periodic intrafraction image guidance (PIF-IG) improved the accuracy of treatment. Materials and methods (extract): Twenty prostate cancer patients underwent HypoFocal-SBRT. Patients […]
