Objective: Two benefits of MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) are the ability to track target structures while treatment is being delivered and the ability to adapt plans daily for some lesions based on changing anatomy. These unique capacities come at t

Objective We have previously described the central nature of simple cases for financial feasibility of proton beam therapy centers—especially four- to five-room centers. In the 5 years since that publication, such construction has slowed drasticall

Many radiotherapy centers desire proton therapy (PrT) because the unique physical dosimetry allows for improved dose distribution in some clinical situations. These benefits are best described in skull base and many pediatric lesions. However, there

Purpose To determine whether all the existing and planned proton beam therapy (PBT) centers in the United States can survive on a local patient mix that is dictated by insurers, not by number of patients. Methods and Materials We determined current a

Purpose Proton beam therapy (PBT) centers have drawn increasing public scrutiny for their high cost. The behavior of such facilities is likely to change under the Affordable Care Act. We modeled how accountable care reform may affect the financial st

Proton beam therapy (PBT) is the most expensive form of radiation therapy in the United States. An area in which clear advantage has been modeled is the use of PBT for pediatric patients, although no publications deal with practice costs to PBT cente

Purpose Given the cost and debt incurred to build a modern proton facility, impetus exists to minimize treatment of patients with complex setups because of their slower throughput. The aim of this study was to determine how many "simple" cases are ne
