Thoracic Proton Minibeam Radiation Therapy: Tissue Preservation and Survival Advantage over Conventional Proton Therapy.

This study assesses the potential advantages of pMBRT for thoracic irradiations compared to conventional radiotherapy in terms of normal tissue toxicity. The challenge here was the influence of respiratory motion on the typical peak and valley dose patterns of pMBRT and its potential biological impact.
