Introduction Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) using pencil beam scanning (PBS) technology has revolutionized the practice of particle therapy in recent years. , In PBS delivery, a particle pencil beam is magnetically scanned in the plane transverse to the beam direction,…
Introduction Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies, accounting for approximately 234,000 new cases and 160,000 deaths per year in the United States. Treatment for lung cancer depends on the disease stage at presentation, with disease at early…
Intensity-modulated proton therapy is effective for complex targets Proton beam therapy (PBT), with its characteristic Bragg peak, holds the promise of further reducing toxicity. Several techniques exist for the administration of PBT, including passive scatter proton therapy (PSPT) and intensity-modulated…
Overview Of Cardiac microRNAs Introduction Over the past 2 decades, advances in next-generation sequencing have demonstrated that even though most of the human genome is transcribed into RNAs, only 1% to 2% of the genome encodes for proteins. Therefore RNAs…
