Clinical outcomes and toxicity of proton beam radiation therapy for re-irradiation of locally recurrent breast cancer

Clinical outcomes and toxicity of proton beam radiation therapy for re-irradiation of locally recurrent breast cancer

Purpose: Repeat radiation therapy (RT) using photons/X-rays for locally recurrent breast cancer results in increased short and long-term toxicity. Proton beam RT (PBRT) can minimize dose to surrounding organs, thereby potentially reducing toxicity. Here, we report the toxicity and clinical outcomes...
