Introduction
Uterine cervix cancer, one of the most common tumors in the female population worldwide, is where brachytherapy plays a major role for local control and survival of these patients. Due the high dose-gradient of brachytherapy, it is possible to achieve the major challenge in radiation therapy to treat lesions with a high effective dose, while minimizing the dose in adjacent...

Background: patients with high-grade gliomas are generally elderly patients with poor performance status and associated morbidities. We compared results of hypofractionated radiotherapy with standard fractionated radiotherapy. Hypofractionated radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy could be an appropriate treatment option for these patients with poor life expectancy.
Patients and Methods:...

Introduction:
During proton therapy energetic proton beams deliver a highly conformal dose to the primary tumor mass; thereby, reducing unwanted radiation exposure to the neighboring healthy tissue. These unique characteristics provide significant therapeutic advantages in comparison to the well-established photon-therapy. However, a significant number of secondary particles, predominantly...
