Proton therapy is a form of radiotherapy for cancer treatment which uses a proton beam that is targeted precisely on the tumor cells, destroying them with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Proton therapy can treat various types of cancer.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to compare the response of two different types of solid-state microdosimeters, that is, silicon and diamond, and their uncertainties. A study of the conversion of silicon microdosimetric spectra to the diamond equivalent for microdosimeters with different geometry of the sensitive volumes is performed, including the use of different stopping power databases. Method: Diamond and silicon microdosimeters were irradiated under the same conditions, aligned at the...

The ConformalFLASH Alliance will be the first collaboration platform between academia and industry to bring ConformalFLASH proton therapy to the clinic 

An investigational treatment approach that may help us move beyond the limitations of normal tissue tolerance to radiation is clinically feasible for the first time. If successful, it could lead to profound changes in cancer care.
