Individualised selection of left‐sided breast cancer patients for proton therapy based on cost‐effectiveness
Abstract Introduction The significantly greater cost of proton therapy compared with X‐ray therapy is frequently justified by the expected reduction in normal tissue toxicity. This is often true for indications such as paediatric and skull base cancers. However, the benefit is less clear for other m...
