ASTRO: Proton therapy shows promise in breast cancer treatment
Proton radiation achieves similar health-related quality of life measures compared to photon radiation in breast cancer patients.
Representative injuries in patients from the mass casualty incident of October 7, 2023. (A) Axial CT scan at the pelvic level in a 34-year-old male patient shows multiple shrapnel fragments in the pelvis, resulting in fractures of the pelvic bones and lumbar vertebrae (not visible on this image). (B) Coronal reconstruction of a head CT scan in a 20-year-old male patient shows penetrating trauma to the left eyeball with a retained bullet in the orbital cavity. (C) Radiograph of a fetus delivered by emergency cesarean section from a critically injured mother shows a left pneumothorax and catheter in place. (D) Radiograph in a 25-year-old female patient shows a comminuted fracture in the tibial metaphysis with fragment displacement and multiple bony fragments in the surrounding soft tissues.
