Outcome and patterns of relapse in childhood parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma treated with proton beam therapy

/Objective(s): The standard of care of childhood parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma (pRMS) is chemotherapy and local radiotherapy. Protons are increasingly being used in order to decrease late effects. The aim of the present study is to analyse the pattern of relapse and the correlation with dosimetric factors in pRMS treated with proton therapy (PT).
