Treatment plan comparison of proton vs photon radiotherapy for lower-grade gliomas

Treatment plan comparison of proton vs photon radiotherapy for lower-grade gliomas

Background and purpose: Patients with lower-grade gliomas are long-term survivors after radiotherapy and may benefit from the reduced dose to normal tissue achievable with proton therapy. Here, we aimed to quantify differences in dose to the uninvolved brain and contralateral hippocampus and compare...
