Simulation of an HDR “Boost” with Stereotactic Proton versus Photon Therapy in Prostate Cancer: A Dosimetric Feasibility Study

Simulation of an HDR “Boost” with Stereotactic Proton versus Photon Therapy in Prostate Cancer: A Dosimetric Feasibility Study

Purpose/Objectives: To compare the dose escalation potential of stereotactic body proton therapy (SBPT) versus stereotactic body photon therapy (SBXT) using high-dose rate prostate brachytherapy (HDR-B) dose-prescription metrics. Patients and Methods: Twenty-five patients previously treated with rad...
