Abstract
The nearing completion of the Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research marks a transformative leap in cancer care in Australia. Highlighting the precision and potential of particle therapy in reducing long-term side effects, particularly in paediatric and rare cancers, this editorial underscores Australia's commitment to integrating this innovative modality into national healthcare, despite challenges in accessibility and cost.
澳大利亚布拉格质子治疗与研究中心(Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research)即将竣工,这标志着澳大利亚癌症治疗领域的一次变革性飞跃。这篇社论强调了粒子疗法在减少长期副作用方面的精确性和潜力,特别是在儿童和罕见癌症方面,强调了澳大利亚将这种创新模式纳入国家医疗保健的承诺,尽管在可及性和成本方面存在挑战。
期刊介绍:
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences (JMRS) is an international and multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that accepts manuscripts related to medical imaging / diagnostic radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, medical ultrasound / sonography, and the complementary disciplines of medical physics, radiology, radiation oncology, nursing, psychology and sociology. Manuscripts may take the form of: original articles, review articles, commentary articles, technical evaluations, case series and case studies. JMRS promotes excellence in international medical radiation science by the publication of contemporary and advanced research that encourages the adoption of the best clinical, scientific and educational practices in international communities. JMRS is the official professional journal of the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT) and the New Zealand Institute of Medical Radiation Technology (NZIMRT).
