Proton Radiotherapy for Pediatric Sarcoma
Pediatric sarcomas represent a distinct group of pathologies, with approximately 900 new cases per year in the United States alone. Radiotherapy plays an integral role in the local control of these tumors, which often arise adjacent to critical structures and growing organs. The physical properties of proton beam radiotherapy provide a distinct advantage over standard photon radiation by elimin...
متن کاملLow early ototoxicity rates for pediatric medulloblastoma patients treated with proton radiotherapy
BACKGROUND Hearing loss is common following chemoradiotherapy for children with medulloblastoma. Compared to photons, proton radiotherapy reduces radiation dose to the cochlea for these patients. Here we examine whether this dosimetric advantage leads to a clinical benefit in audiometric outcomes. METHODS From 2006-2009, 23 children treated with proton radiotherapy for medulloblastoma were en...

متن کاملCost effectiveness of proton therapy compared with photon therapy in the management of pediatric medulloblastoma.
BACKGROUND Proton therapy has been a hotly contested issue in both scientific publications and lay media. Proponents cite the modality's ability to spare healthy tissue, but critics claim the benefit gained from its use does not validate its cost compared with photon therapy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cost effectiveness of proton therapy versus photon therapy in the manage...
