Proton beam therapy reduces the incidence of acute haematological and gastrointestinal toxicities associated with craniospinal irradiation in pediatric brain tumors

Abstract

The incidence rates of thrombocytopenia and diarrhoea were lower in the PrBCSI group than in the PhBCSI group. One month after completing treatment, the recovery from leukopenia and thrombocytopenia was better in patients treated with PrBCSI than in those treated with PhBCSI.
