A study on predicting cases that would benefit from proton beam therapy in primary liver tumors of less than or equal to 5 cm based on the estimated incidence of hepatic toxicity

Background: For small primary liver tumors, favorable outcomes have been reported with both of proton beam therapy (PBT) and X-ray therapy (XRT). However, no clear criteria have been proposed in the cases for which and when of PBT or XRT has to be used. The aim of this study is to investigate cases...
