Danish Centre for Particle Therapy - DCPT

Advances in preclinical #proton minibeam RT @DCPT! Niels Bassler & Fardous Reaz have, for the first time, quantified the widening of the therapeutic window of minibeams & demonstrated substantial reduction in acute toxicities while keeping tumour control: linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii....

Vil du være den del af Danmarks nationale protoncenter? Vi søger en radiograf til et vikariat i vores skannerteam, som består af fem radiografer, der har ansvaret for vores CT- og MR-skannerprogrammer. Ansøgningsfrist: 24.10.2025. Lyder det interessant, find stillingsopslaget her: lnkd.in/dQu69PKD

PhD defence of Dr. Fardous Reaz at DCPT

🎓 Congratulations to Fardous Reaz on the successful PhD defence at @dcptprotons.bsky.social
His thesis, “Proton Minibeam Radiotherapy: Optimizing Beam Delivery and Quantifying Efficacy”, are a step toward clinical translation of #pMBRT
We’re happy he will continue his work with #PRESTOConsortium

Requirements and Study Design for the Next Proton FLASH Clinical Trials: an International Multidisciplinary Delphi Consensus The FLASH effect, defined as normal tissue sparing while maintaining tumor control with ultra-high dose-rate irradiation, has been demonstrated preclinically in different tumors and tissues. Although ...

The DCPT and Aarhus #FLASH group has shown interesting new results - here feautred in Physics Wolrd!

RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT 💡 See this featured publication by talented PhD student, Villads Jacobsen! 👇

Villads is a PhD student in professor Niels Basslers group at DCPT, and the paper explores Proton Boron Capture Therapy and Neutron Capture Enhanced Proton Therapy.

“Even more cancer patients could benefit from proton therapy” A newly published book describes how life-saving proton therapy was developed at PSI. Damien Weber explains why the full potential of the method has not yet been exploited.

Every year, proton therapy saves the lives of many children and adults with hard-to-treat tumours. But it could help even more people, says Damien Weber of PSI in an interview.

Cancer can turn the world upside down.
For this #WorldCancerDay, our hearts go out to patients and their relatives, highlighting their individual stories that makes an impression on us all - and where #ProtonTherapy is only one part of the story. #UnitedByUnique @uiccofficial.bsky.social

6 YEARS OF PROTON THERAPY IN DENMARK!
Today marks the anniversary of the first patient treated with #ProtonTherapy in Denmark. A special day for all of us – and today, we send our greetings to everyone who has been part of the journey👋

En del af pladserne er allerede besat, men vi har et skræddersyet kursus klar til fagfolk, der har brug for at styrke deres basisviden om protonterapi! 💡Du skal nok ikke vente alt for længe, hvis du vil sikre dig en plads. Læs mere og tilmeld dig her👉https://www.tilmeld.dk/dcpt-basiskursus-2025

PROGRAM FOR DCPT BASISKURSUS D. 5.-7. MARTS ER NU KLART! Målgruppen for kurset er fagfolk, der skal arbejde med protonterapi eller være involveret i selektion og henvisning af patienter til #protonterapi. Find programmet, læs mere og tilmeld dig på➡️ www.tilmeld.dk/dcpt-basisku...

The holiday season is here: Merry Christmas and a happy new year from all of us at DCPT! A special greeting to former and current patiens and their relatives❤️

Vi holder basiskursus i protonterapi 5.-7. marts! Igen
inviterer vi RTT'er, sygeplejersker, radiografer, læger & fysikere, der skal arbejde med/selektere/henvise patienter til protonterapi, til vores basiskursus. Vil du sikre dig en plads, så hop ind på www.tilmeld.dk/dcpt-basisku...

New #inpress the Green Journal: Artificial intelligence uncertainty quantification in radiotherapy applications www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#AI #radiotherapy

Get your reirradiation studies ready for submission! The Green Journal, phiRO, tipsRO and ctRO are planning four simultaneous issues on #reirradiation, with submission deadline on the 30th April. I am SO looking forward to all the exciting science to read 😍 #radonc #medphys #RTT #radbio

The first report from our inaugural ReCOG meeting is out! ReCOG brings together #radonc, #medphys, #radbio, #RTT, #CompSci, trialists, & methodologists. We aim to improve the evidence base in #reirradiation; through data standardisation, generation & analysis across the Atlantic
