Role of proton therapy in reirradiation and in the treatment of sarcomas

Cancer Radiother. 2021 Jul 17:S1278-3218(21)00123-2. doi: 10.1016/j.canrad.2021.06.024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReirradiation and irradiation of sarcoma is often difficult due to the frequent need for a high dose of radiation in order to increase tumor control. This can result in a greater risk of toxicity which can be mitigated with the use of proton therapy. The present review aims to summarize the role of proton therapy in these 2 clinical contexts.PMID:34284969 | DOI:10.1016/j.canrad.2021.06.024
