Predicted Secondary Malignancies following Proton versus Photon Radiation for Oropharyngeal Cancers

Predicted Secondary Malignancies following Proton versus Photon Radiation for Oropharyngeal Cancers

Purpose: There has been a recent epidemic of human papilloma virus (HPV)–positive oropharyngeal cancer, accounting for 70% to 80% of diagnosed cases. These patients have an overall favorable prognosis and are typically treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Because these...
