Prospective evaluation of multitarget treatment of pediatric patients with helical intensity-modulated radiotherapy

ConclusionOur results showed acceptable levels of acute and late toxicities, considering the highly advanced diseases and multimodal treatment. Hence, tomotherapy is a  feasible treatment method for young patients with anatomically complex tumors or multiple targets. Especially mtRT is a promising and innovative treatment approach for pediatric sarcomas, delivering unexpectedly high survival rates for patients with multifocal Ewing sarcomas in this study, whereb y the limited number of patients should invariably be considered in the interpretation.
