Purpose
Pediatric head and neck malignancies are managed with intensive multimodality therapy. Proton beam therapy (PBT) may reduce toxicity by limiting exposure of normal tissue to radiation. In this study, we report acute toxicities and early outcomes following PBT for pediatric head and neck malignancies.
Materials and methods
Between 2010 and 2016, pediatric patients with nonhematologic malignancies...
BackgroundProton therapy for treatment for high‐risk neuroblastoma may offer sparing of organs at risk (OAR) when compared to intensity‐modulated X‐ray therapy (IMXT).
ProcedureDouble‐scattered proton plans and IMXT plans delivering 2,160 cGy to the primary tumor site and other residual disease were developed for 13 consecutive HR‐NBL patients. Radiation doses to target volumes and OAR were calculated...
