Even though proton beams and carbon ions are currently the popular particles used for radiotherapy in cancer, ions such as pions, helium, argon, and neon were previously used. To prepare this article, reviewed the literature relevant to the history, current status, and clinical outcomes of particle therapy for specific types of tumors by searching in PubMed and Google Scholar using specific search terms. This article reviews the history, current status, physics, and radiobiological advantages of particle therapy. Outcomes of particle therapy for sites such as the head-and-neck, central nervous system, lung, and prostate have been discussed. The physical and biological properties of particle therapy have been shown to be effective in reducing radiation-induced acute toxicities to a large extent as well as reducing the integral dose, i.e., the sum of dose delivered at every point in a patient's body, multiplied by the volume of tissue at each point and then added up over the entire treated volume. It is used to assess the potential risks associated with radiation therapy. The advantages of particle therapy over conventional photon therapy in terms of overall survival and local control rates have been described. Advances in image guidance and newer particle acceleration technologies have improved the efficiency of particle therapy treatment.","PeriodicalId":9427,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Research, Statistics, and Treatment","volume":"137 1","pages":"248 - 260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90636811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The next most common is an exon 20 insertion mutation (Ex20Ins), which results in an altered active site that sterically interferes with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) binding, resulting in a poorer response rate to EGFR TKIs. Amivantamab (JNJ-61186372), a fully humanized EGFR- mesenchymal-epithelial transition receptor (MET) bispecific antibody has been approved for use in adults with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR Ex20Ins mutations, whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. To prepare this review, we searched various websites, including the European Medicines Agency Drug Manual, United States Food and Drug Administration, PubMed, Science Direct, and UpToDate using the search terms, “Amivantamab,” “NJ-61186372,” “amivantamab-vmjw,” and” “EGFRexon20ins.” We shortlisted 121 articles published between 2015 and 2023, of which 49 were included. This review discusses the clinical indications, adverse effects, safety, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and the key research trials that investigated the use of amivantamab.","PeriodicalId":9427,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Research, Statistics, and Treatment","volume":"22 1","pages":"261 - 271"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80041556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
