BACKGROUND
Both intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (RT) and passively scattered proton therapy have a risk of secondary malignant neoplasm (SMN) in children. To determine the influence of RT modality on the incidence of SMN after craniospinal irradiation (CSI), the authors compared the incidence of SMN in children who had medulloblastoma treated with either photon CSI plus an intensity‐modulated RT...
BACKGROUND
The treatment for childhood intracranial ependymoma includes maximal surgical resection followed by involved‐field radiotherapy, commonly in the form of intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Proton‐beam radiation therapy (PRT) is used at some centers in an effort to decrease long‐term toxicity. Although protons have the theoretical advantage of a minimal exit dose to the surrounding...
