Charged Issues: Particle Radiation Therapy

This issue of Seminars in Radiation Oncology revisits the issue of protons and charged particle radiation, one that was addressed in the April 2013 (volume 23, number 2) issue. We refer the reader to that issue, which included many excellent articles focused on proton and charged particle radiation therapy. Since the time of that publication, the number of charged particle facilities in operation has continued to increase, there has been a significant migration to delivery with scanned beams, and multiple, randomized clinical trials to compare outcomes with protons compared to photons have been activated.
