Dosimetric advantages of proton therapy over conventional radiotherapy with photons in young patients and adults with low-grade glioma

Abstract

PRT is a highly conformal radiation technique offering superior dosimetric advantages over conventional radiotherapy by allowing significant dose reduction for organs at risk (OAR) that are essential for neurologic function, neurocognition, and quality of life, thus demonstrating the potential of this technique for minimizing long-term sequelae.
