Single-institution clinical experience using Robust Intensity Modulated Proton Therapy in chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the mobile spine and sacrum: feasibility and need for plan adaptation

CONCLUSIONS: Robustly optimized intensity modulated proton beam therapy for chordoma and chondrosarcoma of the mobile spine is feasible. Plan adaptations due to anatomical changes were required in approximately 23 percent of treatment courses.PMID:34843840 | DOI:10.1016/j.radonc.2021.11.020
