The Radiobiological Effects of Proton Beam Therapy: Impact on DNA Damage and Repair
5 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Proton beam therapy (PBT) offers significant benefit over conventional (photon) radiotherapy for the treatment of a number of different human cancers, largely due to the physical characteristics. In particular, the low entrance dose and maximum energy deposition in depth at a well-defined region, the Bragg peak, can spare irradiation of proximal healthy tissues and organs at risk when compared to conventional...
