Study of hepatic toxicity in small liver tumors after photon or proton therapy based on factors predicting the benefits of proton

CONCLUSIONS: The predictive factor numbers predicted the ALBI score change in PBT but not in XRT.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study suggest that the number of predictive factors previously identified (0-1 vs 2-3) were significantly associated with dosimetric parameters of the normal liver in both modalities. In the proton group, the number of predictive factors was associated with a worsening ALBI score at 3 and 6 months, but these associations were not found in the photon SBRT group.PMID:36633335 | DOI:10.1259/bjr.20220720
