Cancer is often analyzed as one of the second leading causes of death worldwide, and the mortality rates from cancer are estimated to approximately 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Cancer is a generic term, which is often used to describe a large group of ailments affecting a body part. However, one of the prominent features of cancer is the collective and rapid formation of cells that further grow beyond expected and usual boundaries. Thus, it invades adjoining parts of the body, thereby spreading in other body organs, often referred to as metastasizing, one of the major causes of death by cancer.

Some of the common types of cancers reported are lung cancer with nearly 2.09 million registered cases, breast cancer with 2.09 million cases, colorectal cancer with 1.08 million cases and prostate cancer with 1.28 million cases. The average cost associated with cancer care in the USA ranges from $157.77 billion, which showed a substantive increase from $124.57 billion in 2010. The shift mainly resulted due to the rise in the prognosis of prostate cancer by 42%, breast cancer by 32%. Moreover, with the pertinent increases in the figures, the estimated cost for cancer care in 2020 is expected to amount to $173 billion. Dr . Hywel. Owen. Dr Robert . Apsimon.

The use of proton therapy (PT) for partial breast irradiation (PBI) in early stage breast cancer is an area of active investigation. Proton PBI has the potential for decreased morbidity versus photon PBI because of superior sparing of surrounding normal breast tissue and underlying thoracic structures with protons. (Figure 1) To date, single-institutional studies have reported the feasibility of proton PBI but have resulted in conflicting results on toxicities, with some publications showing suboptimal cosmetic outcomes. (Table 1) Herein, we report 3-year outcomes of a prospective phase II trial investigating the efficacy, toxicity, and cosmetic outcomes of proton PBI.. Libby .

Laboratory of Nuclear Problems, JINR, the Medico-Technical Complex (MTC) was developed on the basis of the 660-MeV proton accelerator (. phasotron. ), where patients with different tumors are treated using 3D conformal proton beam therapy which allows the dose distribution maximum to be shaped so as to most closely match the shape of the irradiated target. The dose drastically falls off beyond the tumor boundaries, which allows treatment of earlier inaccessible localizations immediately adjacent to a patient’s vital radiosensitive .
