Proton beam therapy is a globe preserving treatment method of choroidal melanoma. It is considered to be less harmful for the tissues around the tumour but the complications such as radiation retinopathy and neuropathy o...

Background and purpose: Mediastinal lymphoma patients are typically young and are at risk of long-term radiation-induced adverse events, making organ of interest (OOI) sparing a key objective of radiotherapy. This study ...

Background and purpose: Proton therapy is a promising modality for treating locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). However, respiratory-induced intra-fractional motion can compromise tumour coverage. Thi...

Background and purpose: Robust optimization mitigates the effects of range and setup uncertainties in intensity–modulated proton therapy (IMPT) through robustness settings. However, it increases the dose to organs-at-r...

Background and purpose: Previous studies have demonstrated that mini-ridge filters (MRF) can reduce beam delivery time in pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy, but the effect on plan quality has not been analyzed in...

Background and purpose: Oesophageal radiotherapy may cause side effects due to high organs of interest (OOIs) doses. While proton therapy (PT) reduces OOI dose compared to photon therapy, setup robustness settings used m...

Background and purpose: Bilateral breast or chest wall and regional nodal irradiation involves large treatment volumes adjacent to multiple critical organs. The feasibility and normal tissue sparing of proton arc therapy...

PurposeCurrent proton beam therapy patient-specific quality assurance (PSQA) methods rely on time-intensive phantom measurements or machine-reported parameters without independent verification. This work presents an inte...

Abstract Photo-redox catalysis has emerged as a new generation of biochemical protocols in proximity labeling, noninvasive therapy, ultrafast activation. However, the well-developed photocatalysts cannot simultaneously p...

Two different approaches are used to produce conducting polymer nano-objects. One is a “top-down” approach which involves laser ablation of conducting polymer films using laser light interference patterns (direct las...
