Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are the most common solid malignancies in children and adolescents and young adults (C‐AYAs). Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is an essential treatment component for some malignancies, but it can also lead to important toxicity. Pencil beam scanning proton therapy (PBSPT) allows for a minimization of dose delivered to organs at risk and, thus, potentially reduced...
Background
The use of proton therapy (PT) in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) is becoming increasingly popular. This study aims to assess the outcomes and late toxicity consequences in AYAs (15‐39 years) with brain/skull base tumors treated with pencil beam scanning proton therapy.
Methods
One hundred seventy six AYAs treated curatively at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) were identified. Median...
