Effect of anatomical change on dose distribution during radiotherapy for maxillary sinus carcinoma: passive scattering proton therapy versus volumetric-modulated arc therapy.

CONCLUSION:: PSPT was confirmed to be more effective than VMAT even the effect of anatomical change was taken into account. Therefore, it is expected that the contralateral vision can be preserved reliably while optimal target coverage is provided. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE:: PSPT allowed significant sparing of OARs even in the result of the second plans affected by the anatomical change. PSPT offers benefits over VMAT in reducing dose to several OARs. PMID: 30281327 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
