A model-based approach to predict short-term toxicity benefits with proton therapy for oropharyngeal cancer
The aim of this study was to generate normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models in patients treated with either proton beam therapy (PBT) or intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for oropharynx cancer, and to use a model-based approach to investigate the added value of PBT in preventing treatment complications.
