Abstract: Radiation therapy systems and their components, including secondary radiation shields. At least some versions of the disclosed systems combine a radiation delivery device, a primary radiation shielding device, and a secondary shielding layer into an integrated, modular unit. This is accomplished by using a small direct beam shield capable of blocking a primary beam from a radiation delivery device. In turn, a thinner shielding layer can be used to surround the radiation delivery device and primary shielding device, enabling a single modular unit to be delivered to an installation site. In some embodiments, a bed may be disposed within the secondary shielding layer. In some embodiments, the system is configured to provide up to 4-pi (4π) steradians of radiation coverage to the bed from the radiation delivery device.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method of adaptive treatment of a subject with a tumor. The method may include administering a first pulse dose of radiation to a tumor within a subject; administering a second pulse dose of radiation to the tumor, wherein the second pulse dose is administered after an observation period, the observation period having a duration of at least 7 days; and concurrently treating the subject with an immunotherapy.
