Proton Therapy meeting, 05/30/2024, IEO Milan Dear colleagues and medical professionals, I would like to inform you about an unmissable event for those interested in Proton Therapy. On the upcoming 30th of May at IEO in Milan, an important conference on this topic will be held, organized by experts with the participation of internationally renowned speakers. Proton Therapy is an innovative radiotherapy technique that is revolutionizing cancer treatment. Due to its precision and ability to reduce side effects, it is becoming increasingly popular and appreciated worldwide. The conference will showcase the latest studies and advancements in Proton Therapy research, providing a unique opportunity to stay updated on the latest developments and engage with key industry experts. Don't miss the opportunity to participate in this significant event, which will allow you to deepen your knowledge and expand your professional network. https://lnkd.in/dwq55sep #ProtonTherapy #IEOMilano #Conference30thMay #Radiotherapy #Cancer #MedicalInnovation

Arnold Pompos, Ph.D., Associate Professor, was invited to give a colloquium lecture in the #physics department at The University of Texas at Arlington this week. His talk was titled, "Precision Radiation Oncology: Navigating the Challenges of Ultra-Personalized Cancer Therapy." #radiotherapy #cancertreatment #radiationoncology #cancer #cancerresearch #medphys #physicists

In this randomized clinical trial, compared with CT-guidance, MRI-guided SBRT significantly reduced both moderate acute physician-scored toxic effects and decrements in patient-reported quality of life.

"Proton beam therapy precisely targets brain tumors, allowing for the delivery of higher doses of radiation. The treatment is especially useful for tumors in children and tumors near eloquent brain tissue" Provide your insights on brain cancer for the International Conference on Brain Cancer scheduled for February 04, 2024: https://lnkd.in/dp4i4mdp Share your research summaries here: https://lnkd.in/dFXWh-mh #brain #brainhealth #braininjury #brainfood #brainscience #brainresearch #braincancer #braincancerawareness #braintumor #braintumorawareness #braintumour #braintumourresearch #braintumourawareness #braintumors

The Polistudium team wants to share exciting developments in the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain. The study explores whether radiotherapy is always the best option, highlighting promising new targeted therapies that may offer better outcomes with fewer side effects. #CancerResearch #HER2Positive #BrainMetastases #Medicalwriting https://lnkd.in/dqChEyhS

Radiation oncologists provide an overview of treatment modalities, highlighting SRS, SBRT, proton therapy, and how options have improved. https://lnkd.in/eXKndyjW #gicsm #cancer #oncology

"Once AI is better than the doctor, you shouldn't want to mess with it anymore." AI was the start of a day of synergy in proton therapy research. Through FLASH, a better view of the tumor with MRI in eye melanoma, fewer fractions in head neck cancer and the start of proton therapy for cervical cancer, we arrived at possibilities for the future, again with FLASH and other types of particles. It was a full day of Pearls, thanks to all the speakers for their contribution to this great first day of our scientific symposium.

On the cover! Catalytic Nanoradiosensitizers In their article for the cover of AFM 47/2023 Jiangfeng Du, Xiao Zhang, Gan Tian, and co-workers engineer single-component manganese tungstate (MnWO4) as a new kind of catalytic nanoradiosensitizer, which shows augmented Fenton-like effect under X-ray stimulation and enables the synergy of chemodynamic therapy and radiotherapy for efficient treatment of triple negative breast cancer, expanding the nanomedicine library as potential clinical candidates. https://lnkd.in/eZxmd9ZE
