“…Locally advanced pancreatic lesions involve the main pancreatic vessels and retroperitoneum that can lead to incomplete resection, (5) with associated poor survival. Novel radiation therapy techniques with accelerated ion beams have shown positive therapeutic results in local control of locally advanced pancreatic cancer 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 …”

“…There are so many articles published about comparision 3D-CRT and IMRT, VMAT techiques for lots of cancer treatment (Swamy et al, 2014;Ding et al, 2014). Some authors have reported dosimetric comparisons of 3D-CRT, IMRT and VMAT for prostate treatment (Romanenko et al, 2003;Xu et al, 2008), direct comparison with our study is difficult.…”

“…Secondary malignancies following prostate irradiation include predominantly bladder cancer and, to a lesser extent, colon cancer (Ding et al, 2014;Kendall et al 2007;Nieder et al, 2008;Ruben et al, 2008;Zelefsky 2012;Budaus et al, 2012;Swamy et al, 2014). Those secondary radiation-induced bladder tumors are usually aggressive and sometimes lethal.…”

“…The field of PBT has made much advancement in a relatively short amount of time. There is currently dosimetric data for each type of cancer discussed that demonstrates superiority of PBT over various other treatment techniques, including 3DCRT, IMRT, and/or volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) (62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)(70). However, determining whether there is a clinical benefit in toxicity profiles or outcomes is a key goal of current and ongoing research, including several prospective clinical trials directly comparing PBT with other RT techniques.…”
