National Protocol for Model-Based Selection for Proton Therapy in Head and Neck Cancer

National Protocol for Model-Based Selection for Proton Therapy in Head and Neck Cancer

In the Netherlands, the model-based approach is used to identify patients with head and neck cancer who may benefit most from proton therapy in terms of prevention of late radiation-induced side effects in comparison with photon therapy. To this purpose, a National Indication Protocol Proton therapy...
