Acute Hematological Toxicity during Cranio-Spinal Proton Therapy in Pediatric Brain Embryonal Tumors

Acute Hematological Toxicity during Cranio-Spinal Proton Therapy in Pediatric Brain Embryonal Tumors

Background: Embryonal tumors represent a heterogeneous entity of brain tumors that need a multidisciplinary treatment including cranio-spinal irradiation (CSI), with a known impact on the acute toxicity. Proton therapy (PT) boasts a reduction in acute hematological toxicity. Methods: We retrospectiv...
