Patterns of Failure After Proton Therapy in Medulloblastoma
International Journal of Radiation Oncology * Biology * Physics
Proton therapy centers and the pediatric oncology community will welcome the article by Sethi et al (1) published in the March 1, 2014, issue of this journal. The technical data regarding over- or underlapping of adjacent treatment fields are useful to prevent further tumor recurrences at these sites. Also, it is reassuring that an excess tumor recurrence risk was not found just beneath the meninges of the widest portion of the head, including after low, highly fractionated doses of 23.4 Gy (relative biological effect [RBE] = 1.1) and below, which provides nearly 70% of the population studied.
