Abstract

Purpose of review: Head and neck cancers rank as the seventh most common cancer worldwide, nearly half of which result in death. The most common treatment methods for head and neck cancers include radiotherapy and surgery. Proton therapy has emerged in radiotherapy for cases where tumors are located near anatomically sensitive areas where the radiation dose must be strictly limited. The purpose of the work is to discuss the role of the proton therapy in the treatment in various types of cancer, and particularly head and neck tumors.

Recent findings: Proton therapy allows for the delivery of radiation doses to critical organs to be reduced, resulting in a decrease in the occurrence of late adverse effects on these organs. The occurrence of side effects caused by proton therapy depends on the relative and absolute volume of organs at risk receiving specific radiation doses. Proton therapy represents a promising alternative to conventional radiotherapy due to the reduced number of complications in healthy tissues by delivering a lower radiation dose outside the tumor area.

质子疗法在头颈癌治疗中的应用--综述。
审查目的:头颈部癌症是全球第七大常见癌症,其中近一半导致死亡。头颈部癌症最常见的治疗方法包括放射治疗和手术。质子疗法在放射治疗中的出现,是针对肿瘤位于解剖学敏感区域附近、必须严格限制辐射剂量的病例。本文旨在讨论质子疗法在各类癌症,尤其是头颈部肿瘤治疗中的作用:最近的研究结果:质子疗法可以减少对重要器官的辐射剂量,从而减少对这些器官的后期不良影响。质子疗法引起的副作用取决于接受特定辐射剂量的危险器官的相对和绝对体积。质子疗法通过向肿瘤区域外输送较低的辐射剂量,减少了健康组织的并发症数量,是一种很有前途的传统放疗替代疗法。

期刊介绍: This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
