Model-Based Normal Tissue Complication Probability Comparison Between Proton and Photon Therapies for Brain Tumors Complying With Planning Study Guidelines
Purpose The benefit of proton beam therapy (PBT) for primary brain tumors compared with x-ray therapy has not been demonstrated by randomized controlled trials. We performed a model-based approach study to evaluate the potential benefit of PBT for brain tumors using the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) mod...
