TL;DR: This study showed that proton beam therapy achieved good local control for HCC using each of three treatment protocols, suggesting that selection of treatment schedules based on tumor location may be used to reduce the risk of late toxicity and maintain good treatment efficacy.

TL;DR: This study shows that PBT is an effective and safe method for the treatment of patients with large HCC because the Bragg peak properties of PBT allow for improved conformality of the treatment field.

TL;DR: Hyperfractionated concomitant boost proton radiotherapy for supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme was tolerable and beneficial if the target size was well considered and the possibility of controlling border region recurrences was pursued.

TL;DR: It is suggested that radiotherapy is a treatment option that can be used in addition to surgical resection and contribute to survival of patients with adrenal metastasis from lung cancer.

TL;DR: SBRT for lung tumors located in the pulmonary hilar region may be tolerable and acceptable, if multiple treatments to the same major bronchus are avoided, and irradiated volumes are carefully taken into consideration.
