Proton Radiotherapy Could Reduce the Risk of Fatal Second Cancers for Children with Intracranial Tumors in Lowand Middle-Income Countries

Purpose: To test our hypothesis that, for young children with intracranial tumors, proton radiotherapy in a high-income country does not reduce the risk of a fatal subsequent malignant neoplasm (SMN) compared with photon radiotherapy in low- and middle-income countries. Materials and Methods: We ret...
