Prospective Study of Health-Related Quality of Life for Children With Brain Tumors Treated With Proton Radiotherapy

Abstract

This is the first study to our knowledge of HRQoL in a cohort of children with brain tumors treated with proton radiation. This prospective study demonstrates the effect of disease type and intensity of treatment on HRQoL. It further suggests that where CSR is not possible, PPR is appropriate in most circumstances.
