Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on particle therapy, particularly proton beam therapy and carbon-ion radiotherapy. Research evaluates treatment efficacy, toxicity, and survival outcomes for various cancers, including adenoid cystic carcinoma, liver cancer, pediatric brain tumors, and prostate cancer. Studies also explore advanced treatment techniques like proton spot-scanning arc therapy, biologically optimized multiple intensity-modulated proton therapy, and dose-driven continuous scanning proton therapy, alongside investigations into relative biological effectiveness and respiratory-gated irradiation.
